We made it to our house in Ballyvaughan!!!

After a full 12 hours of traveling, we finally made it to our cottages in Ballyvaughan!!! We took a bus from Dublin to Limerick, then from Limerick to the Shannon airport to wait for our shuttle to Burren College of Art. While we waited I bought this sweet hat and scarf!

I'm ready for Ireland now!
 Then a van came to pick us and drive us to our houses in Ballyvaughan. Our driver Declan was super nice (surprise surpirse!)
We got trigger happy as the landscape gave way to Burren awesomeness!
 Then we made it to our thatched roof cottages! Two of them for the 10 of us. They are the most adorable, beautiful places on the planet!

Grettings from Cottage #15!
Love the dutch door mud room and coat hooks (which we took advantage of right away!)
This is the view out our front door.
The dining room is all windows. It'll make a perfect reading room too with its french doors.

My room and my roommate Noami!

We ate our fist dinner in our fabulous eat in kitchen, check out those windows!

After dinner we went down to one of the pubs in town for our first pint!
Naomi was happy to have her first Guinness!

Then after we got home we lit a fire in our living's room fireplace!
We're all settled in and totally ready for our next adventure tomorrow. We'll get a chance to see the school and our studios and some other things around town. I took a video of the house to show as tour, but I'll have to edit and upload it some time later.
