IRELAND

May 14-23, 2010

CCV Students travel to Ireland to explore the history, literature, film, and music of the Emerald Isle. The class will visit the rugged seascapes of the Clare and Kerry coastlines, the lush hills of Kilkenny and Wicklow, and the bustling capital city of Dublin. Students will tour castles and abbeys, peer over the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, experience traditional music, and meet with Irish scholars.

Sorry these are so sporadic, internet time is often hard to come by. We are so busy and sometimes just too tired. But we are having a good time and learning so much....
Tues. May 18 -
Another great day, though windy and rainy. Went to Kilkenny castle, which is right across the street from where we are staying. really beautiful. Then on to Kells Priory- the most extensive Priory in Ireland.Even tumbling down over the ages, you can feel the spirit of the place. Next, Fethard and an Irish history lesson Colum.He made it come alive. then dinner and music by the Keltic Kats. these guys are great. We are really getting to know one another and traveling well together.
Ireland is beautiful - everything that I expected and more.
