W.B. Yeat's House

We went to the home of W.B. Yeat's house, one of Ireland's most famous poets. We went there and sat on the bridge and Gordon read some of Yeat's poetry.

me and Kinji




This woman was really sweet. 
We talked about dogs and she hugged me when I
 told her I missed my puppy. 

Then Ryan took over and read to us for a while. 


adorable family unit. 






We were all enjoying the peacefulness of this place
when this man pulled up with his LOUD truck and started sucking the water
out into the truck.

middle of nowhere!




This is a picture I found on Google Earth of our house. Literally in the middle of nowhere! 
 The field on the left is usually a cowfield but cutting across it on the way to school cuts about 20 minutes out of the walk so we usually do it. So pretty! Directly behind us, (towards the bottom of the picture) is where the mountain is that I climbed with Max and Brian. The rode in front of our house leads directly to the street in "town" and is a really pretty walk home at night underneath all of the stars. I am happier than ever with the house I was put in and with people I was given to live with. We all get along really well and take care and look out for each other. I am going to miss the girls a lot when we leave- we are all actively avoiding thinking about it! :) Ignorance is bliss!

thanks skype.











Staying in touch has been pretty easy for the most part. I don't talk to anybody too, too often, but I've been lucky that people have caught me on skype at random parts of the day. Anyway, 
these are just some pictures of skyping with people from home taken by my computer- I'm lucky to have people wondering how I'm doing! So thanks :)



                      I asked Martin where he kept
a picture of me in his studio. 
He responded with this crazed doll.

he was in public and I made him speak to me.

Goose doesn't understand computers.
He looks a little crazed here.

Matt teaching in Detroit. I danced with those 
kids via internet to "Get Low" by "Lil Wayne"-
Matt was not pleased. It was fun.


When Nick came to visit me from Paris, we had 
a skype reunion with friends back home at CCS.
          It was lovely. I miss them so much.
