Study Abroad: Ireland
A post-trip report and pictures from my year in Ireland studying in Galway. I attended the National University of Ireland, Galway, and studied physics and math, as well as rain, Guinness, sheep, and the infinity that is the color green.

A blue sky day in Ireland. Few, but amazing. Blackhead in the distance across Galway Bay.

300 foot drops into the North Atlantic, and noone but sheep to see it.
The Cliffs of Moher
County Claire, Ireland
One of many ruins scattered around Ireland.
County Galway, Ireland
Just a few blocks from my flat: the diving tower at Blackrocks. Author airborne. Nice shooting Elizabeth.
Galway/Sandhill Ireland
Bivy in the dark on the Aran Islands
Inismore, Ireland
I knew I was close to the water when I set the bivy up in the dark. I did not know how close...
...nor how substantial the cliff was.
Ross Erilly Friary
County Claire, Ireland
The friary is a maze of stone walls, tombs, staircases... I would've loved to see it working. You can still see ovens, fireplaces, second floor layouts, etc... Amazing.
