My European Adventure: Ireland, Scotland, and Italy!

We had a three day trip to Ireland. While we were in Ireland we saw Dublin, Cork, Wicklow, Bray, and Cobh. We didn't have a lot of time in Dublin and Cork so we didn't get to see too much. However, we had two full days in Wicklow and it was wonderful! We relaxed, fell asleep in the soft grass, and enjoyed the small town life! Here are a few pictures of Wicklow! This was the exact way I pictured Ireland!

We also went to Cobh, Ireland, which was the last place the Titanic docked before it sank.

In Scotland we stayed with a couple who graduated from Freed-Hardeman and are now missionaries. They were so hospitable! We had a great time with them. They cooked us dinner. They took us around Scotland and showed us some of the countryside. Here are a few pictures!

I found this beautiful rose laying on the shore in Scotland.

We also went horseback riding! That was such a fun experience! We got to see the countryside and it wasn't by walking, riding in a taxi, bus, or train! Here is a picture of my horse. Her name was Whisperer. She had gas and liked to eat branches.

The last leg of our journey was to Cinque Terre, Italy. Cinque Terre means "five lands" or "five cities." They were located all along the coast of Italy and you could hike from one city to another. It was absolutely beautiful. I think this was one of the most beautiful places I have been in Europe. The five of us stayed at a campground in tents! It was absolutely wonderful!! Here is Justin in his tent. Lacie and I had a tent for ourselves and we had so much fun!!!

We hiked through all the cities. It took the majority of the morning to hike and we ended up in the last city at the beach! It was a wonderful day!! Here are a couple pictures!
