Oh the color!


Hey everybody! So Cork is starting to get pretty cold and gloves and scarf are required! Really it's the wind chill that is so bad. I have had such a wonderful time here. I went yesterday to the City Center (downtown) it is beautiful there the leaves are yellow, red, and orange. There are two festivals going on right now the beer festival and Jazz festival. I love that there are musicians on every corner and in pubs. I also tried Strawberry beer and have to say I like it! I also went to a nearby University that looks a lot like Hogwarts so beautiful. I also carved my first pumpkin the first night I was here and no it doesn't have a mouth but if you look at it the way I do it doesn't have a nose! LOL. Thanks to everyone for your prayers Cork is amazing!!

I have no pictures but on my day off I plan to take a few. Things have been great here I have met some wonderful people and wonderful residents. Ireland is so beautiful and so far I've been lucky that it only rains for like 5 minutes at a time them stops. Not only do i work with Irish residents but all the assistants are from different places as well. Hungary, Germany, and France so It has been a challenge some times with the accent barrier. It is kind of funny though cause one of the assistants told me she was nervous when she heard an American was coming because her English was not so good. We all get along so well and the residents already seem to accept me. So I am nervous about the driving but I know I will be ok my biggest fear is actually the driving instructor I hear his accent is really thick! Well I'm going to go sorry It wasn't long or really informative but the next one will be I promise!
