Arrived Safely!

After a very good dinner and breakfast on American Airlines, I'm here in Dublin, safe and sound. A little rain came that will not hinder me from venturing out into the city. And the "Customer Care" people in the Dublin Airport who were keeping order in the customs area were cool.

We are at All Hallows College, which is about a 30 minute walk (or short bus ride) from downtown Dublin. The College is small, but has lots of grass and flowers. It is located off of a fairly main road with access to multiple buses that go into the city as well as to the airport. There is a church and I believe four buildings. I will be going out to explore the campus and downtown in a little while.

Of course I am unable to access my personal e-mail from this computer, so for now this posting will have to suffice. Our course begins tomorrow afternoon, so I have a little time to relax and enjoy being in Ireland! Oh, and they have some really cool signs and ways of saying things here, as I remember from other parts of Europe. They also drive on the opposite side of the road, which will take some getting used to.

Until next time, Slainte! (I'm not sure exactly what that means, but our professor used it once. I believe it may mean "cheers."
