Pictures! Friends and Good Times

I've gotten the chance to meet some really great people since I arrived! Here are some pictures of what my friends and I have been up to lately!

Dinner party! A Spanish quiche, Italian pasta, and some American blueberry muffins for dessert. All made by friends from their respective countries. 

My friend Claudia from Italy!

A few of us hanging out waiting for dinner to be finished

A day exploring the river banks

Bus ride down to the City Center! (The University of Limerick is technically located in the city of Castletroy. There are buses to take students into the city for shopping and fun)

Commencement address from the President of the University

Traditional Irish dancers! (Video to come!)

A friend and I met at the sports bar to watch our first Hurling match! The traditionally Irish sport has spread across the world and is now played in many countries (including the US!) although Ireland still holds the only country with a National team. 

Cork vs. Clare. It took a while to get into the game and understand what was going on, but what a game! Ended in a tie after a last minute goal. They will be playing again and you can bet that I will be there!!

My roommate Macey and I! There was a party where we had to dress up in our country's flag colors. Macey and I did Red, White, and Blue......

..... and the Girls from Italy created their flag in three dresses (Red, White, and Green)
