My story...

I left Vancouver on April 4 2010 to live one year abroad. I arrived in London- spent a week with my cousins, headed over to Ireland to see some more cousins and tour the country, back to London for a day- and arrived in Paris on April 28th, 2010. I found an apartment and started working on May 10th. From May 2010 until February 2011 I lived the Parisian life and took advantage of living in the epicenter of the world by traveling and exploring numerous nearby countries such as: Algeria, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, the south of France, Belgium, Morocco, and South Africa.
This blog takes you into the wonderful adventures of my life with stories and pictures galore.
I was due back to Vancouver on April 1, 2011- where I took my position back after my one year leave. I flew back to Vancouver on March 27, 2011. It has been good to be back- I am so blessed as I am surrounded by such great people!!! So good to see friends and family again after 1 year!
Just because I'm back in Vancouver to what was my "normal" life... doesn't mean the adventures and blogging stop here. The adventures will continue I'm sure... so
the only way to stay informed with my random experiences is to come back to this page! So add it to your favourites.

Church conversions

So this is really cool...because there are so many churches in Dublin, people have purchased them from the state and converted them into apartment buildings, stores, and other religious holy places. These are two I've seen so far...
St. Kevins is now an apartment building...and my cousin's co worker/friend actually lives in there!!!
You can see some stuff in the windows...


This was a church built in the 1860's and was bought by the Islamic Foundation of Ireland in 1983 and converted into a Mosque! So cool!!!!!!!

Check out the writing in Irish too at the bottom!!! English, Arabic, and Gaelic!

If I find more... I'll post them!!!
