Top o' the day to ya! Thats right everyone, Abby has officially arrived in Ireland! The flight was super long and I didn't get much sleep (crying babies, uncomfy seats, etc) but the movies and books entertained me and I survived. We took a bus from Shannon to Cork (it was about a two hour bus ride) and riding through the country was absolutely breath taking. The lush rolling hills went on and on and I couldn't believe how green everything was! It was sunshine today with a little overcast but we took it as a welcoming sign (that and the fact that they played Madonna's greatest hits on the bus to Cork...haha). Driving through the little towns was my favorite part though, all of the people going to and fro and I can now say that Ireland may have a bit of a drinking problem, we saw four or five pubs on every block! Once we got settled a bit I unpacked (thanks for the all the notes in my suitcase, mom, they made my day!) and then slept because I could hardly keep my eyes open. When I woke up the group went out to Papa Johns, which is right around the corner, for some pizza. We are all pretty exhausted so we will probably be turning in early tonight. However, tomorrow we have big adventures planned to scavenge the city and see everything there is to see! I miss you all lots!
