IRELAND - DUBLIN City

DUBLIN is awesome! Such a great city and so full of life! We took a walking tour of the city and took great photos and learned a lot about the history of Ireland. We also went to a few Irish pubs that played traditional Irish music and had dancing! It was so much fun!














Such a great tour guide! She was a stereotypical Irish girl...red hair, accent, hilarious, and friendly!












IRELAND - Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher were absolutely breathtaking! They were located on the western side of Ireland. So it was about a four hour bus ride from Dublin to the cliffs, but it was all worth it! They went down the coast of the Atlantic Ocean for miles! So beautiful!









SHEEP!

FRANKFURT

I really enjoyed our visit to Frankfurt! We first took a tour of the European Central Bank (basically where the Euro currency is made), then we took a bus/walking tour of the city. Frankfurt reminded me a lot of home because of all of the large sky scrapers! 9 out of 10 of the highest buildings in Germany are in Frankfurt! During the war, the majority of the city was destroyed so Frankfurt architecture is rather new compared to other German cities. Frankfurt is known for it's many museums, diverse culture, modern architecture, and historical background. Such a great city! So full of life!

I love Berliners! Best donut on the planet!

Some of Karneval!

KARNEVAL was so fun! These are just some of the pictures from a few of the parades that I attended with my friends and host family. Karneval is almost like halloween and Christmas combined. Everyone gets the whole week of school off here. People of all ages are dressed up and singing Karneval songs.




Prague

Prague was one of the prettiest places I've ever seen! The city looked just like the postcards! I definitely want to come back to this place in the Spring!
