I left Cleveland Hopkins International Airport at 5:00pm on the 9th. After a stop in New Jersey, dinner, a movie, attempts at sleeping, and breakfast i looked out my window and saw the shore of Ireland. As we flew over the country all i saw was green blocks with tiny white houses. I think flying over any land is beautiful but looking down at Ireland is amazing. The land looks so lush and peaceful.

Around 9:30am on the 10th i cleared immigration and was officially in Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom. I was met by two women from Belfast Bible College who took myself and two other girls back to the school. Driving through the country and into the small village of Dunmurry (where the school is located) was surreal. I cant believe that after all the planning and anticipation im really here. Iv just been getting to know some of the early comers today (more will be coming in the next days) and took a brief walk to Dunmurry.

Right now i feel like i could fall asleep while typing since my body thinks iv been up since 9am wednesday (and its 12:30pm thursday in america) but im determined to go to bed at a normal time so that i will be ready to explore a bit of Belfast tomorrow.


Take off....

Bye Bye Cleveland!


Welcome to Ireland.
