this seems to be a common trend in Ireland. layers are definitely key..

irish blood, gringo heart // on the last call poster at the pisser of an irish pub in the boston area the tag reads: “the rapture my ass! see you sunday.” the irish are awesome tough little bastards. these are the three lessons they have for us all. one, whatever the fuck it is, you can probably kick its ass. two, you will sometimes get your ass kicked. and three, quit your bitching and finish all your beer.

Headline win.

Ireland, ill miss you in ways.

Bishops Quarter ~ Ballyvaghan (by CreepyGreepy)

The General Post Office, where the Irish Proclamation of Independence was read. There are still bullet holes in its pillars from the rebellion. Read the Proclamation, it’s beautifully written. Later that day I got to see one of the original copies in Trinity College’s Long Room.

For those who don’t know, I live in a small town just South of South Bend and I have the amazing opportunity to be traveling to Dublin, Ireland with my local youth group. There will be 3 girls and 3 boys plus 2 sponsors:). I’ll be leaving on Monday morning and returning home late June:)

While there I plan on running for 30 mins and 60 minute segments with one of my trip mean members. His name is Josh and he recently qualified for the State Track meet in the 300 Hurdles and Long jump.

I feel truly blessed to be able to travel to Ireland and it will be a great opportunity for my faith in God to grow. Thank You:)
