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.

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.
