FINALLY, sushi in Belgium

For the longest time we couldn't find good sushi in Begium. Seems like a silly thing to miss, but much like a chipotle, chick-fil-a or peanut butter and jelly sandwich craving, it is something about the US I missed. Erika, my new roommate for the semester, and I found a cute little place with sushi boats, literally. It was delicious!

Ireland!

Galway was beautiful. Maggie and I went to visit Katie for four days, she lives in a picturesque Irish town on the water with the cutest pubs and shops. We also visited the Burren and Cliffs of Moher for a scenic day in the Irish countryside.

Limerick was very filled with history and I had the opportunity to visit with Jenna which was awesome! King Johns Castle was really neat.

Dublin was very different then the other two cities, it was like the NYC of Ireland, a must see, but for a day. We visited St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Guinness factory which were very cool. It was an all around amazing trip.

Americaaa

Being at home has been fabulous, but I am more then thrilled to know I have another full semester ahead of me come Wednesday when I get back on the plane. While home I had the opportunity to see NYC decorated for Christmas, spend the holidays with my family from NJ, NY, and Texas, see the Nutcracker ballet in Washington, DC visit with old friends and spend New Years in Philadelphia.

Coming soon... Ireland, Germany with Mom and Uncle Ed, Switzerland, Paris with Mick, Greece, and Rome... I feel so blessed and thank everyone who has helped me along this journey. For all of those I saw over the holidays it was amazing and for all those I love and didn't- I think about you often and look forward to the next time we see each other. Hope 2011 is off to a good start.

Love Always, Brigette Anne
