Summary of study abroad trip

I have updated a summary of my study abroad trip. Enjoy and please consider going abroad. It was a fabulous learning experience.

West Coast of Ireland: Cong & Connemara

For the second day of my west coast tour we went through/to Inagh Valley, Kylemore Abbey, Joyce County, Cong Village, and Ross Errily Friary. 



Kylemore Abbey: 

A lot of the trees around here have toppled over. Apparently the soil is very loose here.
Through Joyce County 




This tree is known as a rag tree. It believed to be a faerie tree. 

Going up north: Belfast

During the exam period in May, I had 5 days where I didn't have any exams. So one day, I took the train to Belfast. The train ride was about 2 hours. I spent the day walking around the city. It was a nice day.
