The goods

One my first day here I went with Liz (the other BYU student) and found this beautiful waterfall right behind the where we're staying. It's amazing how things just... grow here. No sprinklers or anything!

This is my wee room. I actually have my own sink, which is grand.

Here is the view from my window. Out on a small grassy knoll, or something, on campus. It has been so nice lately that I just keep my window open all the time (don't worry, I'm on the second level, so no burglers can get in or anything).

A brief stroll down to Port Stewart (a nearby town) to have a look at the sea.

Here's me forcing Liz to be in a picture. I think I look way too excited here...

Here is a little shack right by the beach. I like colored doors.

Last Thursday we went to see a practice race for the Northwest 200, the biggest motorbike race in Ireland. I got this shot of a bike going by at about 160 mph! I wasn't expecting to time it right, but I got lucky, even if it is a bit blurry...

We walked home from the practice race down this backroad that had beautiful, green fields all around.
Here's another from our walk home.
And here's a pic from the actual Northwest 200 races on Saturday. They were going so fast! A lot of spectators gather around this corner right by the University because they slow down here enough so that you can actually see them!
