FSAT Trip: Ireland

 

The last destination on our trip was Dublin Ireland, even though we were there for a day & a half it was still pretty cool. We went to St. Patrick's Cathedral which was cool to see. I didn't know they still do masses there I thought it was just only for museum showings. For the English FSAT class, I did my presentation on the Book of Kells. After learning about the Book of Kells. I wanted to check out the exhibit myself. We went to Trinity College in Dublin which is everywhere by the way, it is very spread out amongst the city. Seeing the Book of Kells was my favorite part of the Dublin trip it was the one thing I wanted to do in Dublin. While I was staring at the Book of Kells I kept thinking wow "it's here it's right in front of me the book I presented in class I'm staring at it with my own two eyes." 

I'm going to be honest but Dublin Ireland was my least favorite of the trip. The reason why is it was our last trip destination and by that time I was exhausted from the other two countries. Another reason is I felt like the last part of our trip was rushed we were in Dublin for a day and I think if we spent an extra day there then my opinion would be different.

But this trip overall was a great once-in-a-lifetime experience and I am so happy and lucky I got to travel with my professors and my best friends to Europe. When you get a chance or an opportunity like this to travel to Europe, take it and learn about different countries, different histories, and different cultures. Then afterward you can say I did it.

FSAT Trip: England

  The second part of our trip was to London, England. this was my most anticipated part and the part of the trip I was looking forward to the most. We took the train to London this time which was nice, we got to see fields of grass while on the train and experience beautiful views. The first location Sarah took us to was Trafalgar Square which is the main part/center of London. Afterward, we were able to split off & do things on our own. My friends & I went to a 100% vegan, plant-based restaurant called Mildred's. They were super friendly, the service was great, and the food was delicious. They had this vegan whipped feta that was out of this world.  The next day we got on the bus and drove to the important parts of London. We drove by Kensington Place. Went to one of the many Prince Albert memorials. The next place we went to was the infamous & iconic Buckingham Palace. Being there didn't feel real. We visited the Towers of London which was an old prison, unfortuna
