Ireland Time!

My trip to Ireland was done as a spring break trip through a local community college (while it was an easy way to travel, I ended up traveling with a group that had very different priorities than I did, they wanted to get drunk and I wanted to see Ireland, and it didn't make for the best experience). Ever since I was little I've wanted to go to Ireland, India, and Italy, which has caused my family to tease me about my "I" countries and ask if I also want to go to Iceland, Iraq, or Iran. We spent most of our time in Killarney, taking side trips to Dingle, the Blarney Castle and Dublin.

Did you visit Mumbai on your trip to India?

Lauren said...

No I didn't make it to Mumbai, but I would love to go back some day and see it. India is so big it's hard to see everything during a short trip!

I would like to go to Ireland! It always looks so beautiful! Italy is my only "I" country so far.

I feel like a collector since you have the one "I" country I desperately want, haha. I am determined to make it to Italy someday, although once I'm there I will probably not want to leave!

Oh yes... I wax nostalgia on Italy and some days wish I lived there. But you CANNOT get decent Mexican food or salsa. It is nearly impossible to find cilantro or limes even. And there are some conveniences here that they don't seem to notice not having. That being said... I just may pick up and move still. I can GROW my own stuff right?

Haha, that's great! I would love to hear how attempts to grow your own limes go, cilantro might also be difficult although I will be attempting it soon for my apartment in Boston. If I ever make it to Italy I'll know who to ask about what to go see!
