We spent the day exploring Dublin with the program and then on our own. It's a beautiful city and it's amazing how different it is from home. We drove through the North side of Dublin when we came from the airport. Some city blocks looked like they could easily belong in certain parts of Boston, but seconds later, we would pass distinctly European buildings that would stick out in America. When we crossed River Liffey into the south side of Dublin, it became very apparent that we weren't in Boston anymore!
Today we start the typical icebreakers and breakout sessions for orientation. But in the afternoon, we are being taught Irish sports and then this evening, we're going to the oldest pub in Dublin for dinner and to listen to a traditional storyteller. Stay tuned!
(P.S. The airline found and delivered my suitcase!)
