New Header Image

I was out enjoying the beautiful spring weather we've been having here in Galway and took a few snapshots of the River Corrib and the Spanish Arch. I decided that my blog needed a more appropriate header image so here it is. I hope you enjoy it!

This photo was taken a few hours ago and what you see from left to right is the Spanish Arch, Nimmo's Restaurant, and the pastel-colored row homes facing the River Corrib (bottom) which empties out into Galway Bay (far right). I see this image in person nearly every single day and decided it was time to capture it digitally. This is only about 3 minute's walk from my apartment which is behind the image. Isn't it amazing what we take for granted? I challenge all of you to enjoy your neighborhood or city and look at it in a different light, maybe take a few photos. Spring is already here in Galway, and I'm sure it is right around the corner for many others as well. Hope you like the new header image and happy spring to you all.

More posts coming!

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to post more frequently. The original intent of this blog was to serve as a repository of my experiences as a postgraduate student in Ireland. It's been a big transition: picking up the family, quitting a job, selling a condo and moving to a foreign for two years. I have had a difficult, yet rewarding experience in Ireland so far and my hope is to be a better historian going forward. If I am able to inspire just one person to become as crazy as myself and start a new life abroad, then I will be happy. Without further delay, I give my thoughts to you...
