Sorry Friends!

I forgot to do Worldly Wednesday this week. I ended up scheduled to work through the day. I will write next week's post ready and scheduled to post next week. Just think of it as extra time to write about your own adventure!

Worldly Wednesday: Ireland (or the trip of many long bus rides)

Welcome to the Worldy Wednesday Link Up! Whether you have left the country, left the city, or left your house - link up and let us know what in the world you have been up to!

In October of 2014 my roommate and I planned a two country trip for our half term holiday. The first half of the week we spent in Ireland, to visit my cousin who was studying there. We flew into Dublin on the most terrifying flight of my life. By the time we landed my roommate and I were clutching on to each other for dear life. As our plane was descending it encountered rough turbulence. In addition to this the plane was rocking side to side. In addition to THIS the plane was rocking forward and back. TERRIFYING!

We boarded the bus at the airport to take us to Waterford.

Up early the next day to get on the bus to Cork. We took the city bus out to Blarney to visit Blarney Castle.

We ran into this chocolate store across the street from Blarney Castle. They had the most delicious chocolate bars. I bought a dark chocolate bar with dried strawberry in it.

Blarney Castle!

That hole at the top is where you lean through to kiss the Blarney Stone! It was so scary!

That evening we went out to a pub that happened to be hosting a jazz festival. We listened to this interesting band while we sipped our beers.

Again, the next day we woke up early and got on a bus for Dublin. 

We, of course, had to visit the Guinness Storehouse museum.

I learned how to pour a pint of Guinness and even got a certificate!

We stayed one last night in Dublin, then woke up to pack our bags and get on a bus to the airport to head to the Netherlands for the rest of the week!

I'm so excited to see what in the world you have all gotten up to! Link up below!

October Currently

Today I am linking up with Oh Boy Fourth Grade for the October Currently link up.

I'm spending the day today volunteering in Lisa Bee's classroom! (I'm teaching her class how to swing dance today!)

I've been though some major life upheaval in the last few months (If you are following along with my recap I will be getting to the good stuff soon, haha). I, however, am making the best of the situation and using it as an opportunity to do some volunteering, work in a different field, and getting back into writing. I am feeling more positive and excited to see what life has in store for me next!
