May the road rise to meet you.

I have been holding off on sharing some news until I successfully completed my last Swedish course. This may or may not have happened on Friday, (providing my professor skims over the section where I blank in recalling whether Norway is an European Union Member State... doh. For the record, it is not).

Regardless, I am off to Ireland for my last set of classes!

Here's to celebrating the warm sun between bouts of rain, finding refuge in noisy local pubs, and exploring the beautiful Emerald Isle. So, my well-traveled friends, any recommendations? Unlike the last European adventure, I hope to make Dublin a pretty permanent home for the next three months, with a very loose itinerary dedicated exclusively to Ireland. 

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back, 

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft upon your fields and,

Until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Ireland, spill it. I will be so grateful.
