One week ago today, I was in the car with the program leader on the way to Corrymeela (a Christian reconciliation center in northern Northern Ireland) after just landing in Belfast. It was a hell of a trip involving 2 cancelled flights, 1 last second $110 taxi ride from Laguardia to Newark, 5 days of boredom, and 1 giant snow storm called Hercules, but I finally made it!
Tomorrow morning I will be boarding a plane to Northern Ireland where I will be spending the entire semester through an Earlham study abroad program. As the semester progresses, I will be updating my blog with pictures, travel logs, pub reviews, and anecdotes.
After our first week in Quito, Leslie and I headed off to the beach. The city had been great and the party scene unlike anything I had seen in the United States, but it was time for a change in scenery.
