Home Sweet Home

I came home Monday night, but I've been too tired to write. Now that I'm somewhat back to normal, I'll just quickly conclude this year's blog with some pictures and final messages.

On Monday morning, we woke up in Dublin, had the last hotel breakfast at the Gibson, and took the bus to the airport. There, we checked in and were very nicely surprised that we were able to cross the U.S. border at the airport before our flight, saving time in Boston. On our quick 6-hour flight to Boston, I had the chance to watch three movies and eat a nice dinner. I did have quite the headache though. In Boston, we arrived as a domestic flight since we already crossed the border, and were able to quickly pick up our bags and get to South Station. Because we crossed the border in Ireland, we were able to catch a 5PM train to Providence and get home at around 6:30PM. I went to sleep very shortly after arriving, and woke up at around 7AM.

Now that I'm finally back home and I have a chance to look back at this great trip. I loved every city we visited, and I learned a lot of the history behind them as well. I also noticed that my trip this year and last year had some historical theme. Last time, I learned a lot about World War II and the Cold War in Berlin, London, and Paris. This year, I learned a lot about World War I and the years leading up to it in Austria, Hungary, and Poland. It was just something little I noticed, but now I feel more knowledgeable about the topics than I ever did in history class.

I've finished uploading all of my pictures, so here are all of the links:
