It's so strange getting used to a new culture. I had my first experience with the "Dart" yesterday. The Dart is the train that takes me from Greystones into Dublin. On my way home from Dublin the train just stopped at the stop right before Greystones and said it wouldn't be continuing. I was like, "Ummmm.....well, what do I do now." Since it was Sunday no one was around, so I had no idea what I was doing. I just waited 45 minutes and finally another train came and thankfully it took me to Greystones.
Also, I have to take one minute showers because the hot water tanks are so small and if you don't get out in time ice water shoots out....learned that the hard way! The girl I live with, Efa, and I tried to make brownies last night. They were horrible. She thought they were great. So I guess brownies over here are just not that great.
Love you all!

Bethany,
Good morning, I was excited to receive your email and discover that you had followed your goal to return to Ireland. So greeting form Oklahoma and in the words of the Irish "Top of the morning to you."
So how is the crack? (For those that are not familiar with the Irish slang, crack is the word they use for fun/entertainment.) It seems like there are a million different things to get use to such as the language, accent, driving on the other side of the road, money, etc… so I hope that you are doing well and having a great time.
Once again, it was great to hear from you and I look forward to hearing about your fun adventures. Have fun and do not become a checky nacker.
Best Wishes,
Nathan
Bad Brownies? That is terrible! Let me know what you need and I will bring you over a load in May. We are going to get tickets soon...we've been waiting on our points redemption to fly for free. I also talked to a guy that I know in the UK. I plan to go stay with him for a day...and you can hopefully come too. I will let you know as soon as I know more. Is there any time at the end of May that is not good for you? I have heard that it could be raining every day then. Is that true???
