Killarney, Ireland

Things that happened just after dinner. :

Click the link to see what happened not far from us last night. Just after we had dinner. See the armoured land-rovers? They drive around town too.

Yesterday we had a political tour of Belfast. One of the murals we stopped to look at, is in the background of that riot video.

NI Riots, 2010

There are severe riots in Belfast, and 2 people have died.

Bishops Quarter ~ Ballyvaghan (by CreepyGreepy)

The General Post Office, where the Irish Proclamation of Independence was read. There are still bullet holes in its pillars from the rebellion. Read the Proclamation, it’s beautifully written. Later that day I got to see one of the original copies in Trinity College’s Long Room.

For those who don’t know, I live in a small town just South of South Bend and I have the amazing opportunity to be traveling to Dublin, Ireland with my local youth group. There will be 3 girls and 3 boys plus 2 sponsors:). I’ll be leaving on Monday morning and returning home late June:)

While there I plan on running for 30 mins and 60 minute segments with one of my trip mean members. His name is Josh and he recently qualified for the State Track meet in the 300 Hurdles and Long jump.

I feel truly blessed to be able to travel to Ireland and it will be a great opportunity for my faith in God to grow. Thank You:)
