Going North...then South...
All right...here is the plan. This Friday I will be taking off to an Outdoor Activity Center for a 4-Day trip...I know, it doesn't sound that cool. BUT...as it turns out, there are some very exciting things that I can do there. Weather permitting I will be able to take part in my choice of windsurfing, rock climbing, waterfall climbing, kayaking, and even gorge jumping! The best part is that through my study abroad program this entire thing is only costing me 20 euro....that includes taxi fare there and back, accommodation, 3 meals a day, a Halloween party and costume contest...and even an open bar karaoke night.
The best part of coarse...it sounds like there will be plenty of things to photograph.
This first trip is a couple hours North in Connemara (you know that place by now)...but meanwhile I have also been planning my first solo trip. I considered London, Amsterdam, Belgium, Brussels and even Egypt....but found that those were not the right places for right now. I came all the way to Ireland to see Ireland,...simple I know, but it took me a few days to realize that. Sure being here affords opportunities for travel throughout other parts of Europe but I feel that I should explore my surroundings first. So, in conclusion I have decided that Egypt will happen in December....next week however will bring me to County Kerry to see the Skellig Islands and maybe even out to Cork to see Blarney Castle.
I'll keep you posted, wish me luck!
