Off to the end of the rainbow

Straight to it: Here are the pictures from our class trip to Cesky Krumlov, Vienna, Budapest, and Bratislava!

Cesky Krumlov/Vienna

Budapest/Bratislava

I'm heading off to Ireland tomorrow for five days with my friend Tom. We will be staying in Dublin, Cork and Galway. I'm super stoked for this trip, as I've always wanted to go to Ireland for some reason. I don't know if it is because of the accent, the beautiful countryside, the fact the U2, Damien Rice, and Glen Hansard hail from there, or something else, but I've always had this longing to go! And I have to say I am very excited about going to an English-speaking country! It's been about 3 months since I have been in an English speaking country!

The day after I get back from Ireland I will be going to Brussels and Amsterdam for my final trip in Europe! This will be quite the finale since there are 5 other guys going. Should be good times.

My roommate Jared pointed out to me today that we only have about 3 weeks left here. I can't believe it. Honestly, I wasn't sure how I felt when he told me that. We can't decide if time has been flying by, or if things have been going by slowly. I would probably have to say that time has been flying by, because that's usually what happens when you are having a great time. It's weird, because I really don't want to go back home, but at the same time I really do. There are a lot of things I miss, and there are a lot of things I really am not looking forward to going back to. Hopefully the re-entry culture shock won't be as bad as everyone says it will...but something tells me it is going to be pretty rough. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Alright, Ireland awaits.

Ciao!

that may be a stretch to think you will understand what they are saying...It may be english, but that doesnt mean you will know what the heck they are talking about with the accents...
