Greetings from Across the Pond

Wow, I haven't blogged in a few days and so much has happened! First, on Friday evening I went with my suite mate, Jane, and a few of her friends to see a musical that was put on by a local theatre. The show was, "I Love You. You're Perfect... Now Change", it was absolutely hilarious! I had such a good time and I was glad to go out with other people. I have a lot of time to myself here and (as you are well aware) I am a people person so being alone has been one of my greatest challenges. However, things are getting a lot easier and I can't wait to have a full week of work with Dr. Murphy this week. The next adventure that I had was on Saturday. I took a day tour of the Ring of Kerry. The natural landscape was so beautiful. Ireland is very mountainous and the sights we saw looked like something out of a tour book...it was typical Ireland landscape. So breathtaking. I don't remember how many times I said "Wow" when we stopped to take pictures and walk around. I was definitely in awe. We were able to see several different towns and natural sights such as, Killarney, Dingle Bay, Kenmore Bay and Ladies View. It was a very nice but very long day. After returning home I was ready to crash. Today I am working on reading the Frank O'Connor Biography in hopes that I will learn more about him and his work. Tomorrow marks the second week of work with Dr. Murphy and I'm looking forward to seeing her and getting more of this project completed. I will keep you all posted on how it coming along.

Best Wishes,
Chels
