The City Tour

5/23/10 I felt like I’d had an entire day’s worth of activities crammed into three hours this morning after the city tour by coach. That’s a bus in Ireland.

My spring semester ended later than everybody else’s, at 5:30 a.m. this past Saturday morning after… Continue reading If this is a dream, I want my money back
