While everyone back home was sleeping, we finally landed in Dublin!
After a crazy couple of days of flying, being in Ireland was that much
sweeter. From the airport, we got on a charter bus for the 2 hour drive
to Limerick (everyone passed out). We got all checked in to the dorms at
University of Limerick (UL), and I don't ever want to check out!
Ireland is even more beautiful than I thought it could be, and I love
it!
After a tour of the campus, we took a bus to the city center for a scavenger hunt to get to see a few sites in Limerick, then ended at The Locke bar for some yummy food! The first day in Ireland definitely made up for the stressful beginning of our trip, and I'm so excited that I am finally posting from Ireland!!
