michellek: Day 2 06/02/12: Views of Ireland, Bog Museum, Ring of Kerry, Sheep :o

Compare Ireland's landscape from what you thought Ireland was going to be like and what it really looks like. Compare it to your home and other travels.

I've always thought that the landscape of Ireland was going to be a lot of green land with nothing but green grass. It is all that, but a lot prettier than I thought it would be. There are a lot of mountains and hills. It's a lot rockier than I thought it was going to be. Also, I was not expecting the lakes and waterfalls, as awell as all the rocks. All in all, I thought that the landscape of Ireland was extremely gorgeous and a thousand times prettier than I thought it would be ♥. Compared to Korea, Ireland is kind of similar in a way, landscape-wise. Korea is pretty green in the countryside and also has mountains (not as high as the mountains in Ireland, though). Compared to my home, Ireland is completely different. There are no mountains nor any high hills. Also, the closest thing Illinois has to Ireland's dramatic shorelines is the beach of Lake Michigan. Also, the grass isn't always green in Illinois. I think there are pretty places in Illinois, but in Ireland, the views are absolutely spectacular *-*. There are no words to describe it, really.

Summary of the day, highlights, & funniest moment of the day:

We ate a fulfilling breakfast this morning, visited Kerry Bog Village (museum), saw and took pictures of amazing views, watched the dogs that guided (and terrified) the sheep, got bit by lots of bugs, ate fish and chips at The Lodge in a town in Waterville, got hot chocolate from a bus cafe, and saw a REALLY pretty waterfall. We got our shoes dirty, but it was worth it. I think that the funniest moments of the day would be the Timmy song we listened to on the coach bus and when me and Christine did our foot five in the hotel :D.
