Falling in Love in Ireland!

I have learned that if I wait on the Lord and give all of my insecurities and worries to Him, there is a peace that radiates from me. I never knew that this peace is what would draw me to a man. I wish you all could meet him, he has the kindest, biggest heart that could only be from a man that loves God. Now enough about that, let me tell you about Ireland!

Eddie and I took off to Dublin, Ireland, the first time either of us had been there. It was such a fun trip, it was hard to leave. Especially when we missed our flight and had to stay an extra night!
We took a tour of the city, meeting Molly Malone and St. Patrick. Rumor has it Dublin has the best Guiness in the world. We had to find out for ourselves, and...yes that is most definitely true!
My favorite part of the trip was talking with the people and imersing ourselves in the culture. The music was so much fun, and everyone was invited to sing or play. I love the pipes and the flute and the banjo, oh and the drum and guitar...the violin was pretty cool, then there was the oldest accordian looking thing, I don't even know what it was, but it added an amazing sound! I couldn't get enough!
We went to the oldest pub in Ireland, The Brazen Head, 1198. Eddie and I ordered some cider and just sat and listened while the locals each sang their favorite songs. I felt so welcomed and blessed to experience all of this!
It was raining and windy on our last day, but that did not stop us from visiting the Irish Sea! There is so much more to see in Ireland and we will have to go back someday! Love to you all and prayers for a beautiful day!

Spain

We got up really early one morning to see the sunrise over Murcia, Spain. We had to walk a little ways from our hotel as we were on the bay side and the sun was rising over the Mediterranean. It was a cool morning, but as the sun came up, I decided to jump into the water. I went to Spain with full intentions of swimming in the Mediterranean, and my friend Enma jumped right in with me! The water is so clear, so beautiful!




We went over to Granada and visited the Alhambra Palace. I have found that each country I visit is so different and unique from eachother, Spain did not disappoint me. The sultan's palace was on top of the Sierra Hills overlooking Granada.






We spent as much time in the sun as we could before heading back to the gloomy weather of Germany. And of course, I ate as much seafood as possible. We tried everything, even the ones with tentacles, chewy!
