"Here Comes the Sun!"


Our free day in Killarney today was pretty nice. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, so we got to do a lot of things that we wouldn't have been able to enjoy.


We walked up and down the streets in Killarney and poked our head into all of the little shops. The girls and I found a few cute little things, which was nice. It was also really great to just be able to take our time and relax.


For lunch, we grabbed some paninis from a little cafe and took them to the park to eat. Between the weather, amount of free time and number of photography students with us, this inevitably turned into a photo shoot. It was a lot of fun, and we got not only some great shots but also some pretty funny ones as well.


Our final lecture of the trip was also this afternoon. We got the chance to talk with Declan Malone, group editor for both the Kerryman and Corkman, which are regional newspapers. We discussed the papers' political positioning, advertising and web influence. We also heard some stories involving libel laws, which were actually really interesting since the laws are so much more strict here.


Well, a bunch of us are off to get our last dinner of choice on the Emerald Isle. I'm hoping to find some fish and chips - my favorite local meal!
