Sunshine in Ireland and Visiting Friends

Some of our IFG comrades who are studying in Germany for the year came to Ireland to visit us on their semester break. It was their turn to crash at our house after we stayed with them while we were in Germany for one of our classes. It's so fun to see those guys! Every time we see them the time flies way too fast, we eat too much good food, and we have a blast. It was a bummer to send them back to Germany, but it'll be grand when we all get back to Montana!

Beans on toast, a traditional Irish breakfast, to welcome our guests to Ireland.

Stopping to smell the roses.

It got quite late on our adventure and the town of Kinsale looked very serene from our view point on the footpath. We stopped to enjoy the view and for a little pre bus ride snack.

Big ol' pair o' boots.

Taking a rest in the park.

Trying to smell the flowers along the river and avoiding the mine field of dog poos.

The bridge from the main campus to the geology department with the music department in the background up on the hill.

Beautiful view of St. Finbarre's Cathedral at sunset on a clear day. Not a common view around these parts!
