Ahmee y Poppy bebemos un cervesa, se llama Guinness. Yo bebo agua. Comemos muchas porque nototros tenemos hombre. Corro para la library porque necesito un computadora. Leo para la clase de historica americana. La clase es moy deficil. La clase de espanol es facil.
Well we've been on this trip a total of three days now. Since I'm typing this in an internet cafe and I'm having to pay for the half hour I can't type very long. Even if I had enough time I know I wouldn't be able to get everything in. 
Yesterday we landed in Shannon Ireland. At the airport we got a rental car and were on the road. Personally, I'm really glad I don't have to drive. Poppy had some issues driving on the left-hand side at first but he managed to get used to it after we'd left the airport. I've actually got several reasons for being really glad I don't have to drive. The first and foremost is that I get to enjoy the view more from the backseat. I actually have a sunburn today from having my face plastered to the window! You'd think with me being in the backseat that I'd get more homework done, if I knew what that work was. The thing is though that the roads are very curvy, very thin, very bumpy, and they've got lovely hedges on the sides that make you feel like you're in a tunnel a lot of the time. I had the window rolled down all day today to ensure that I didn't get car sick and I avoided reading too much as well. Whenever I read in the backseat on curvy roads without fresh air my stomach protests. In the past I've gotten really close to throwing up.
What have I seen while looking out the window? I've seen lots of green, mountains that remind me of the Rockies (and we aren't even in the highest ones!), lots of wonderful cottages, and road signs. I've been needed for finding road numbers on the map and along the roadside. The fine print was too small for Ahmee to see. It's been very very fun so far.
Lol, here I am going on about today whenever I should be telling you more about yesterday, our first day in Ireland. The first day we were here it felt as if I was walking around in a fog. Even though I had gotten a good deal of sleep on the plane I was still very tired. We drove out if Shannon airport and headed through country roads (that weren't labeled) to Adare Ireland. There in Adare we stayed at a local bed and breakfast and I managed to find internet in the library. We also went on a tour of the local castle where Ahmee and I agreed that the castle reminded us of the one in Pillars of the Earth. It reminded Poppy of Born Fighting. Since I haven't read that yet I can't say whether I agree or not. After we went around Adare, and after I got on the computer for a bit we headed back to the hotel where Ahmee got into her pj's and Poppy and I went downstairs to read/study/fall asleep in the big comfy chairs. Yes, both of us fell asleep. After about fifteen minutes we both decided to head upstairs. Apparently I crawled into bed and was out immediately. When Poppy asked me if I was going to sleep in my clothes I apparently mumbled at him. I say apparently because I remember none of it.
The next morning, yes that'd be today, we woke up late and I hurried and took a quick shower while Poppy went downstairs to see if breakfast was on. After Ahmee and I were ready we went down and were seated by the younger bed and breakfast runner. We ate "the typical Irish breakfast" an egg, cereal, toast, two pieces of ham, two potatoes, tea/coffee, and orange juice (I know I'm missing a few things). We sat with another Irish couple who were quite nice to talk to. They were in town for a wedding. After breakfast we went up, grabbed our stuff, and came back down to say goodbye to the innkeepers. We ended up talking to the younger woman longer and we told her how long we were staying in Europe and that I was working on my homework while we were here. She gave me a kiss on each cheek! This I think made my day because I believe they do that for friends :D. The older lady shook our hands and told us to have a pleasant stay in Ireland.
Today we've been driving along the Dingle peninsula (sp?). It is sooo beautiful here. The green is incredible, the gardens (when you can see them) are wonderful, and we got to see the North Atlantic (and go in). Apparently we came just after they'd had a ton of rain. Everyone we've talked to so far has commented about the terrible amount of rain they've had. Today they got a bit of a break on the Dingle peninsula, it was nice and sunny. Lots of people were at the beach playing in the sand, eating, or out wind-surfing. I only went in to get my feet wet and to see what critters I could find.
Dang it. I'll have to write more tomorrow, out of time.
