I apologize for my lack of blogs over the past few weeks. Our team has just undergone our first major continent change! We left about a week ago from Managua, Nicaragua and flew to Boston. We had one jam packed day in Boston that included trips to Target and REI. We then left for Dublin, Ireland where we debriefed for the week. Ireland was absolutely amazing and I am sooo grateful that we had the chance to see it. We were actually camping for the whole week. As it turns out, when you are on the world race, that is the only way you can afford to stay in Ireland. Let me tell you, the euro is killer! When we first arrived it was cold and rainy, definitely different weather from Central America. But we actually ended up loving the weather and the break from the heat, and we were lucky enough to have some really beautiful, rain free days. I actually enjoyed camping in the end and I am happy to announce that my first run with my tent went smoothly!
We did not stay in Dublin, but in another town called Galway, which is about three hours from Dublin. I absolutely fell in love with the city. It is so beautiful and full of character.
We spent the week exploring the city and taking some time to relax and debrief the first two months. We were able to go on a tour to the Cliffs of Moher one day, which was really incredible. Our tour also included stops at other castles and sites. I really enjoyed our time, so I hope you enjoy some pictures of our trip!

We found a lepracaun! Cliffs of Moher
And for those interested, this is the cave featured in Harry Potter #6, which I saw later that same day. I hope you are as excited as I was.

We left Ireland yesterday afternoon, and arrived in Bucharest, Romania last night. We drove all night to our new contact and arrived early this morning. We are spending the month living in a gypsy village in the northern, transylvanian region of Romania. We are living with our contacts, and so far their hospitality has been incredible. I am so excited for our month of ministry here and I will be sure to post more soon! Much Love to you all!
