Goodbye Galway, Hello Dublin

It has been a busy 3 days.  We celebrated the finale to the Volvo Ocean Race in Galway and then loaded up the coach and moved on to Dublin.  We spent Sunday settling into our new home.  Today has been a busy one with classes in the morning and a trip to the Kilmainham Gaol in the afternoon.  The students enjoyed the tour and had a quick intro to Irish History from our tour guide who turned out to be a published author (and an excellent guide).  We headed home for dinner after a quick tour through Trinity College.  Possible the highlight for some of us is that Mrs. Young has managed to purchase Lady Antebellum tickets for Wednesday night for some of our group and Riverdance tickets for the Saturday matinee for those who wish to attend.  The students have been absolutely amazing so far and the staff feel very fortunate to work with such polite, hard working, trustworthy and fun young people.  It has been a great trip so far...
