How fortunate I am to travel abroad again. This time I will be going to Ireland with eighteen Liberal Studies majors (future elementary education teachers) for a three-week interim class, December 31, 2009-January 22, 2010. We'll be using Mary Immaculate College, part of the University of Limerick system, as our main base. We'll travel and stay in Galway and Dublin as well. The girls are excited--buying warm boots, sweaters, and rain gear--this will be a climate change from Southern California! Here, if it rains, students call in "sick." Can't happen in Ireland, or we'd probably never meet!
I'll keep this blog daily (or so), posting photos and collected memories. This is certain to be a memorable trip. Several girls asked if the Guinness Factory was on the itinerary. And, when I asked in class what they thought would be the most interesting part of the study tour. . .several nodded enthusiastically when one girl said, "Meeting cute guys in the pubs." Ah, life. Ah, Ireland. Erin Go Braugh!
