Making It To Ireland

After sleeping for about three hours, I woke up to corn flakes and orange juice about an hour outside of Shannon. I was happy to hear it was only a 5 hour flight, compared to the 9 hour flight I thought. Upon arriving, I went through all the lines I needed to, such as passport, baggage, customs, before finally finding Wade. Upon reaching the car, I went to the right (normal passenger side in the states) only to get laughed at by Wade. After that little fun though, it was a 2 hour drive to Kinsale, which is just outside of Cork. During the drive, we talked about basically everything, hows life, hows school, all that jazz. Apparently, we drove by Blarney Castle during this time, but I was clueless. After all that, we finally made it to Kinsale, and Wade and Patrick's apartment, which is awesome. Here, I get my own bathroom, which is sweet an my whole wall, essentially, looks right out onto the harbor. Wade dropped me off and headed to work as I went on the computer...half an hour later I was passed out on the couch. Woke up, and Patrick had arrived home, and Wade wasn't much later. After they both went and took naps and such we went to Kirby's. Which was a little restaurant, about a 3 minute walk from their apartment. We all drank Prosecco (spelling), and had pizza. I had order a "Jersey Jeff", basically a bunch of meat and goodness on pizza, it was delicious (didn't realize pizza was eaten with a fork over there though, made for AWFUL table manners). Dinner lasted a good hour and a half, which went by very fast, and then we walked Compass Hill. This had an amazing view of the town as well as the harbor (probably should take a few pictures.) After that, we basically crashed at the house.
