Shannon/Limerick, Ireland

So, I made it! Slowly, but surely. The flight to JFK airport went fine, other than that we had to sit on the runway in the hot plane for a while because there wasn't a port to dock in. The flight to Shannon was delayed for two hours, so I sat around at the airport and didn't get on the flight until midnight in New York. I tried to sleep on the plane, but just couldn't get comfortable in my squished seat, so I closed my eyes for about an hour. Other than that I watched movies and tv until we arrived. Wendy and Diane and her husband, the professors, were nice enough to wait for me in the airport until I got in. We left on a bus and had to have the bus driver talk to the bed and breakfast place we were staying at so that we could find our way. It turned out it was only a block away from where we were at the time. So we were all tired when we got into the b&b, but we decided we shouldn't sleep yet. The host lady, Helen, was really nice and talked to us and showed us all the places that we should see around Limerick, the town. We went to see King John's castle and St. Mary's cathedral, two buildings that were built a little under 1000 years ago. I'm just at the airport right now waiting for all the other kids' planes to get in, so I'll post some pictures later. Thats all for now, we're going to load on the bus right now, but I'll get on a little later when we're at the hostel in Killarney most likely. So far Ireland is great and the people are SO friendly!
