Arrival

I'm here!! England and Scotland were amazing...I don't really know how to summarize it in one post. Overall, it was great to spend time with the church family in Scotland, because that is really what it felt like. I now feel like I have brothers and sisters in Glasgow. I also got to have some great conversations with non believers, as did the rest of the team, and I really think God used us. If you want more details, let me know and I can get them to you.
As for Ireland, my first thought on seeing it was that it was so green. The drive from the airport to Galway was just as I imagined: green hills, stone walls, and sheep. I was met at the airport by two women who happen to know a family friend of ours. This was such a blessing and made it very easy to get to the hostel. The hostel is nicer than I expected, though I am still very glad I reserved a private room instead of a dorm. After twelve, blissful hours of sleep (don't judge!) I decided to explore Galway. The city is kind of random, in that there are nice building next to shabby ones, with lots of rambling streets and few road signs. The City Center is really nice and has been made into a big pedestrian area, so there are lots of cobblestone walkways and roads lined with cute stores and pubs. I saw a pub that is going to have Irish dancers tonight, so I think that I will go there tonight. Apparently they are second only to River Dance....but I have a feeling that this could be a small exageration.
I miss you all tons and hope that everything is going well at home...and in Italy (Erika :))!
