In Ireland

So we have finally arrived in Ireland. Today is Tuesday and it is 8:48 pm right now which means that it's early afternoon or so back home. I finally changed the time to Dublin time on my computer so that I can know what the real time is for the next 3 months.
Ireland is simply amazing, and I have barely seen it yet. We are in a small town called Greystones. It's not exactly "small" but it's got a very old world feel to it even though you can see all the modern convienances of today's world in it. The YWCA which is in town is about a block from the ocean so you can see it from the windows. We can also look out the windows and see some hills and Little Sugarloaf. It's very beautiful.
The coast is much like Maine, as is the temperature, though it feels more like Fall here then summer back home. But so many people get cold here and here I am feeling right at home in the slightly chilly weather. There are rocks on the beach that I have yet to go explore and climb, I hope to go do that in a few days. The DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit), runs past the Y at intervals. We could hear and see some of it from the school room which is in a seperate building behind the Y. It feels like a one room school house.
Tomorrow we are going to Newgrange was is 5000 years old or so. It was built around 3200 BC which is before Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids which I think is absolutely COOL.
Basically tonight I have been doing homework for my Foundations of Christian Thought class for Dr. Mark Cosgrove - he's such a character! But I've got some down time so I decided to make this blog so that all my friends can see what I am up to and what mischief and mayhem I am creating...
I hope to update this as much as possible but in ensure that we get out and explore the country, the YWCA's wi-fi is turned off except on weekends so unless I borrow an ether cord I won't have internet for most of the week. I will, however, update whenever I get a chance so please be patient. Thanks.
For all my friends who will hopefully read this, I miss you guys and hope you are all doing well in your own schools and work places. I love you guys and I wish that you could all experience Ireland as well. I've barely been here 24 hrs and already it's starting to feel like a sort of home.

The first first picture is over the backyard or garden of the YWCA . The next picture is over a rainbow over Little Sugarloaf, you might have to squint to see the rainbow. Laura, one of the directors, said that was in the sky from 9am to 10am which when we started our class and stopped for a break. The third picture is of the Irish Sea and 50 miles across is Wales. If I were to take a picture of the same sea but to the left then the land would be England. The fourth picture is of the Exit signs that are in Ireland and the movie is of us in the bus getting our first glimpse of the Irish Sea.
I will post as much as possible whenever I get the internet (and Wi-Fi isn't neccessarily free here in the coffee shops).
