What a fasinating trip. Currently, I am sitting in the last day of class at Diseart the Sacred Heart University branch in Dingle, Ireland.

We've had around five speakers each with their own thoughts to add. The greatest thing that we have learned is the closeness that the Irish faith has with nature and God. It retains it's old Celtic views of nature having the power of spirit/God and therefore needing much respect. This spirit is known as Neart in Irish. I personally love this take on faith and the catholic religion. I took a lovely stroll through the streets of Dingle after one particular class. It was raining, gray, and most would exclaim with disdain it was no day to be walking about. But, being in the mood that I was I flipped my hood up and trudged on. In most cases, when I walk or run, I keel my eyes down and watch the road under my feet but, not this time.


I kept my eyes up and leaned into my bag on my back and pushed through the rain and felt the crisp air. I strolled down to Murphy's Ice Cream were I discoverd the most wonderful flavor of ice cream known as Baileys. (I also got a bonus of free wifi hooray!) So, after buying myself a lovley claddagh with a celtic not twisted around the sides, I found myself up the street a block away from the cottages stopping breefly whenever I felt to take in the view. It was lovely.
Now most people on the trip are ready to return to the states and I myself would love to be once more in my lovely papason chair. Ah! But no! We will journey to London on Sunday morning!!! Yes! The dilemma of the moment is trying to get our luggage down to the proper weight for a Ryanair flight. So, wish me luck...and also tomorrow is the final deadline for Arcadia University's DPT application...I'm gonna here very soon about if i'm in the program!
So, lets see what happens.


Cheers!
