Day 4

This past week as been a speeding dramatic from traveling far distances across the land of Ireland. First we went to the Aran Islands & Cliffs of Moher, and now we are leaving Galway and Cork and heading to Waterford. I have enjoyed this experience everyday and hope to keep it going throughout the trip to Waterford. During our switching of cities we were able to feel the shift of atmosphere within the people and weather, because Cork is known for its history and shops around bridges and living on a marsh.

Day 3 we took a trip to Belfast in Northern Ireland to experience life in Ireland under the British rule. While we were there we took a tour of the city hall and saw the peace wall of Ireland. The peace wall had beautiful street art that is used to tell the stories of Ireland's political history.

Day 2 of the study abroad trip we went to the Guinness factory and storehouse to see the pub culture of Ireland and how the famous Guinness is brewed and consumed by a popular opinion. Inside the business we were able to see how a culture can use the popular consumer opinion to create a company that invest in their own small businesses to increase their economy.

after the business part of the Guinness factory we went to the gravity bar and got a free Guinness and earned a certificate for the proper pour of a pint Guinness.
