Orientation is over...now what?

Orientation is now over. We went into Bray, Ireland which was amazing! It was really cloudy though and got a bit lost. We attempted to climb a small mountain but ended up going to the wrong way. However I still saw some amazing sights. Also some of the photos are from the train ride out to Bray. We also did so typical orientation things like safety regulations and such.

Outside the academic center

 We also had to go on a scavenger hunt through out the city

scavenger hunt where we had to take a photo with 4 carrots and an "I love vt" sign

 
Walking through Dublin...I thought that this was really pretty

In Bray and it's beautiful architecture

The view outside my apartment

The balcony

 

This is the longest st with Gregorian style houses

This where the stables would be behind the Gregorian houses

This is the canals that were built by 200 men for transportation but then about 15 years later the trains came and the canal was no longer used.

Oscar Wilde

Oscar's wife before he cheated on her. I forget her name though.

 

This used to be the fountain that maids had to go to, to fetch water for their employers. It was close to the Gregorian houses 

The parliament building I think

 

That is just my first few days here! I cannot wait to explore more! Classes begin Monday and   I am taking Conflict Management, Earth Science, Modern Irish History, Northern Irish History, The Dublin Literary Experience. Now that I am finally settled in it feels good!

 

Until next post,
