Busy, busy, busy

March has flown by with all my visitors, the finishing up of classes, and the beginning of my Euro tour. Had my roommate Nick, girlfriend Rachel, and Darlene come over for St. Patrick's Day. Tried to do lots of things between something them Cork, going to the Jameson factory, and going to Galway for the Cliffs of Moher. Second time up at the cliffs and it's much different nowadays. They've barricaded most of the edges of the cliff to prevent people from falling off. They also have a grave for all the souls that have unfortunately lost their lives off of the cliff. So pretty though! Galway is unbelievable. Finished up the majority of my courses. Finished with classes and have the next two months off. Only have a final and a paper due in early May during finals month. Damien Reidy came down from Dublin to visit in Cork. It was great craic. Met up at about 2pm and went to a pub and did an unplanned pub crawl to our surprise. Made it to about 9 pubs and that was pretty much the entire day/night. We went to West Cork the next day to Baltimore. Damien was telling me about the story from when Baltimore was sacked by Algerian pirates and the whole town was taken back to North Africa as slaves. Pretty wild story, the whole town was completely taken away and became a ghost town. It was beautiful though. We found these cliffs that were stunning. Damien has some pictures up on his facebook of the view we had from the cliffs. Currently writing this in Amsterdam. Flew out this morning to begin my Euro trip. So far the trip is planned to go to Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Munich, Venice, Rome, Spain, and France. I'll keep updating as I go along! Sorry for the delay! Still have a ton of pictures to post, but haven't the time to develop them all, maybe soon though.
