Week 16

The end draws nigh.
I arrived in Dublin on the 25th of June. I have enjoyed walking the old streets of this beautiful town. The river Liffy runs through the city in a series of canals, making it easy to hear the gentle sounds of water wherever I go. The people here continue to be very nice, willing to stop and talk for several minutes at a time. I am really enjoying that aspect of Irish culture.
Dublin has thousands of little nooks and crannies to explore, I have easily gotten lost several times wandering the city, though with each new discovery I find something to else to appreciate. The stores, the quays, long avenues lined with old victorian houses, they all make up what is Dublin.
I am staying at the famous four courts hostel, and am glad that my hosteling experience will end on a good note. It is a great place where one can meet all sorts of people. Again, the people. God has really put it on my hear to care for others, something that was sadly lacking in me before the trip. As my flight date continues to approach, I am reminded of all the great people I have met along the way. Too many to name, though each one has been a blessing to know, especially the ones I did not agree with. They helped me grow the most I think.
My flight is for the 1st of July, and I will arrive in KC that same day, Lord willing. I will stay there for a while and attend my good friend Noahs wedding on the (8th). Then, the following day, I plan to be back in good old Manhattan. I am anxious to get back to work and to see all my friends once more. Hopefully, in between different events this summer, I can get a chance to see all of you.
