After a very busy three days, I finally have some time to relax and settle in a little bit. Yesterday we explored the Barryscourt Castle, the Jameson Factory and had dinner at a restaurant on the gorgeous beach. It was a great mix of Ireland's past and current history and also the beautiful setting.
My favorite part of Ireland is the wide variety of landscapes and settings. One minute you can be in the hustle and bustle of a busy city and just a ten minute drive and your amongst horses, cows, and the greenest grasses and trees I have ever seen. Also, my apartment is located right on the River Lee and we are not far from the coast.
Right now, my roommates and I are working on getting settled in, adjusting to the five hour time difference, and getting to learn our way around Cork. So far, I am in love with Ireland and can not wait to see where else this journey takes me!
