After showering, my new friend Maddy and I went to the store, but it turned out it was completely shut down so plans changed. We ended up going on a long walk exploring a part of Limerick we hadn't been yet. We found a fun looking pub called M. Fennessy that we will probably check out later in the week. While we were walking and talking we discovered that we have a lot in common, our faith just being one example. She is an extremely kind person and I think it's going to be the beginning of a great friendship! We discovered this Redemptourist Community Church called Mount Saint Alphonsus and it was absolutely amazing. I had been told by more than one person to visit as many churches as possible because they are nothing like anything I would ever see, but what we saw was so much more than I expected. It is indescribable. Everything from the stained glass to the mosaics were incredible. Another thing we both found really interesting was the confessionals. We had never really seen a confessional before and they were just like we pictured. It looked like it came out of a movie. I now understand why people said to go to as many as possible...we are going to try and go to a service and visit as many as we can!
I feel so blessed and still love Ireland just as much! The cold is not that bad, I actually like it..as long as I'm bundled!
Toodles..for now! :)
Jesse, That sounds like so much fun! The only differnece is I would have been telling the priest about the PUB that I found before I stumbled into his church!!!!! Just kidding sweetheart, i love some of the verbage, like slippy and toodles, do they really say that i think that is so cool!!!
