Hello! I don't yet know the Irish greeting, so I'll stick with what I do know for now. I am IN IRELAND. My non-stop from Atlanta to Dublin was delayed for about half an hour due to the weather, but we boarded and hit the air. I got lucky because there was no one sitting next to me (I think that was the only empty seat on the whole 767!). I think we took off around 8:30. I immediately started watching Leap Year. It was over too soon, and I still hadn't gotten my dinner. I finally got that around 11 pm. I ate, then dozed on and off for the next 3 or 4 hours.
When I woke up (body time ~ 3 am), the sun was shining outside. We had about 1 hour until we landed, so I watched outside when I could see past the people in the window seats. When we dropped through the top layer of clouds and could see Ireland, I was stunned. We flew over this patchwork of grass and fields and stone walls, all different colors, textures, each with their own charming building nearby.
Well, the building where I am on campus is closing in 10 minutes, so I'll finish this later.
