Day one

Today, I arrived in Northern Ireland this morning. It was a little hectic getting place to place once I got here, the trains and buses just didn't come on time so we ended up doing a lot of waiting around. Getting used to everything being so different has been a sensory overload. It's beautiful over here and the people are extremely nice (well most of them.) One of the hardest obstacles has been the accent they have, and the different words they use for similar things. Today, I mainly got to Coleraine, which is an hour out of Belfast and settled in. Rachel and I did some exploring of the supermarket and such but mainly relaxed and met people in our village. We ran into some interesting problems like blowing a fuse by trying to plug in our adapter and not being able to lock the door to the apartment, so it was a rough but a good first day. Can't believe I'm actually here, feels like a vacation. Tomorrow will be a much more adventurous day with site seeing and then my roommates are throwing a party to end the night off. Stay tuned for pictures as I will post some most likely tomorrow.
