WE MADE IT!
I'm mostly just really happy to be here. But also really tired. Some of us managed to crash on the plane (Levi and his 11 hour nap)...but not this kid. This kid watched all of the Blind Side. I also didn't sleep before getting on the plane, so as you can imagine...I'm beat. It's also almost midnight here (8 hour time difference) which is not helping. I managed a two hour nap today, which I think brings me to a grand total of 5 hours of sleep in the last two days. No. I do not approve.
But today was fun...we met Graeme and Lois, who are two of the people who have organized their trip. Now I don't know if I just love them extra for their accents, but they were both great. The food here is more different than I would have thought. Even just a simple loaf of bread is not entirely the same as back home. The cheese is saltier, but the desserts. The desserts win. Ireland kicks America's butt hands-down. After dinner we went wandering through the streets of Belfast, saw the beautiful Queen's University (from afar) and visited our first Irish pub. We have our first training tomorrow and have to be up bright and early, so I'd better be off to bed. Can't wait to see what the rest of the summer holds. Much love...good night!
