First off, it's been a good month for taking pictures.

Okay, I know I haven't posted in a while, so let's see if I can remember everything that I have done over the past month. My birthday was on the 17th, so my mom drove all the way up to UConn to visit me. We got lunch at this restaurant which was a lot better than I thought it would be. It was also nice to eat somewhere new. Afterwards, we got some ice cream at the dairy bar, which I think has some great ice cream and I believe my mom agreed. When we were done eating, we drove all over looking for a volleyball but of course no one has a volleyball, not even a sports store. Go figure. Anyway, it was really fun and I filled my mom in on how everything has been going and it was really nice that she came up and I appreciate it a lot. Umm after that, I went out and took some pictures with Katie. Only the last one is a result from that day.

The weekend before that, I went home because my dad bought us tickets to go see Young Frankenstein on broadway. So we went to NYC and walked over to the show. It was my first Broadway show so I was very excited. The show was hilarious! I loved the Producers when it came out and I think that Mel Brooks did an even better job turning this movie into a musical. I was laughing nonstop the entire show. Sure, there were plenty of dirty jokes which isn't the most comfortable thing to sit through with a parent, but what else can you expect from Mel Brooks? Anyway, everyone else in the theater loved it too. I thought it was great. After that, we walked around the city and got lunch at Pax on the corner of Bryant Park. I think Bryant Park might be one of my favorite places to go in the city. Once we finished eating lunch, we took a subway over to ground zero because my dad had not been there since 9/11. This was my third time visiting and I noticed that they have definitely made progress but it seems like they just divided the whole in the ground in half and have just neglected one half of it while building on the other side. Anyway, from there, we walked down the street where we saw St. Paul's chapel which is the oldest church in Manhattan. The cemetary of the church (which is directly across the street from ground zero) was not the slightest bit harmed from the wreckage and rubbel from 9/11. I thought that was very amazing. We proceeded to walk across the street to the park outside City Hall, which I had never been to before. It was a really nice park and the architecture of all the buildings around that area are really nice. The park had gas lit lamps which both my dad and I thought were pretty cool. After sitting there for a little while, we rushed back on the subway to Grand Central and went home.

Besides that, I can't really think of any eventful parts of the month that are worth mentioning. School is over in two weeks and then I'm coming home for the summer and probably working at Mattei's.

Not really, but I find these pictures really funny.

The weather today was amazing. I can only hope that it will stay that way and get warmer.

The Coast of Ireland

I plan on going back to Ireland sometime in the near future. I figure, if I am able to save up enough money, two summers from now would be a good time to go.

Irish Coast

Cliffs of Moher

Ring of Kerry

Ireland is a very beautiful country and it is definitely very different from the United States. I reccommend that EVERYONE try and go to Ireland at least once. One of my favorite things about when I went there was hearing their accents. Sometimes it is pretty hard to understand them, whereas English accents are relatively easy.

There are so many places, people and other things to see in Ireland that it would take hundreds of trips to see everything worth seeing.

If you ever have the chance, take it and go to Ireland!
