Greetings from Rostrevor!

Gosh, I didn't expect to find Internet here, but now it's stable enough for us to do research and make sure we have next semester's schedules all figured out. We've been here for about a week and have had some amazing experiences already. We spent the day in Dublin yesterday and I have many thoughts about that literary city, but Rostrevor is an interesting village in itself.
Later, when I am not so weighed down with Dickens research, I will write about "The Troubles" in Rostrevor, our hosts' stories about the conflicts in this little village, and of how my trip to Kilmingham Jail in Dublin broadened my understanding of the British-Irish conflicts.
