JFK Gong Show

Hello from Ireland. I arrived in Shannon about 2 hours later than expected. It started with being 2 hours delayed in Orlando because of a severe thunderstorm in NYC. Which meant the Shannon flight (and every other flight in the world it seems) was 2 hours delayed. If that wasn't enough, we were in the queue to take-off, and the storm had the audacity to return and start blowing the wind in the opposite direction of how the planes were taking off. So all 50 planes in the queue had to turn around. Unreal.
But, I did get to see some really cool lightening from the sky once we managed to get off the ground.

Steph came and picked me up at the Shannon airport, and I quickly learned that time in Ireland does not exist. We waited about 20 mins after the scheduled arrival time for the bus to take us to Limerick. Limerick is a cute little city. Lots of medieval arcitecture (King John's castle is here, right on the banks of the River Shannon). Steph is giving me lots of history lessons as we go.

Now comes the tough part... deciding what to do for the rest of the week. Thankfully Steph has no classes next week, so we are free to go whichever way the wind blows.
