Good Morning!

Hello Everyone,

Well...we've been here in Ireland since about noon (Irish time) yesterday. We toured around Dublin a little yesterday afternoon and then ate dinner. Later, we crashed at the hostel for a bit before a group session. Last night, Joel, Jordan, Kevin, Kaylie, and myself went out into the city for a bit. We walked around and then sat down in a pub for a few minutes to watch a "futbol" game. It was really fun. A few of us have also aquired a friend, I will describe him as a feisty old man haha. He is a blast and we talked with him for quite a time last night and then he ate breakfast with us this morning. He is from Australia and it is so interesting to talk with him about absolutely everything. Especially politics because when he talks it's his view of america from a different country and also from 'older eyes'. He also fought a while which was interesting to hear about...and he informed us that John Wayne movies are not an accurate portrayal of war. It's interesting being here. I don't know if it has even really hit me yet, but I am certain it will. Already tons to tell...can't wait!

Love to you All,

Kaitie
