This trip was truly an amazing trip to take! Ireland is truly a beautiful place to visit and very scenic. It was over the span of two weeks, and we visited the cities of Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Kilkenny, Galloway, and the Wicklow Mountains. We experienced the Cliffs of Moher, Giants causeway, and Blarney Castle. The people over in Ireland are very kind and welcoming! The food was amazing! Many chances to eat something that you might not get to eat over here in the U.S. You also get have fish and chips which was super fun to have over there!

Over the span pf the two weeks I believe my favorite spot to visit was the Blarney Castle! It truly was everything I thought it would be and more! In order to get to kiss the Blarney Stone you have to climb up a stairwell that was built a long time ago. The view at the top was so beautiful and kissing the stone was definitely worth doing if you go there! They also have a trail you can take to visit other parts that the family would use. They had a family home which was also beautiful to see and a garden with the most beautiful flowers. Over I highly recommend you take this trip when it pops up again! – Abigail, SPC Ireland Study Abroad Program, May 2024
