From the book itself....

"It was in Warwick Castle that I came across the curious stranger whom I am going to talk about. He attracted me by three things: his candid simplicity, his marvelous familiarity with ancient armor, and the restfulness of his company-- for he did all the talking. We fell together, as modest people will, in the tail of the herd that was being shown through, and he at once began to say things which interested me. As he talked along, softly, pleasantly, flowingly, he seemed to drift away imperceptibly out of this world and time, and into some remote era and old forgotten country; and so he gradually wove such a spell about me that I seemed to move among the specters and shadows and dust and mold of a gray antiquity, holding speech with a relic of it!"

Welcome!

Welcome everyone to my site!

Above is the first few line of Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court", the novel for which this blog is named after.

I am glad I finally got this site going and I am very excited to begin sharing my adventures with all of you, as the character spoken about above did so in the novel.

I have been in Maynooth for two weeks now, and I am finally getting use to things and getting situated.

So, done with the welcome, I would like to start things off by giving you a visual show of what my new environment looks like. I just made this video today, and it does not include any of the North Campus, so I will make a second video to add on to this one, but I think this is a good starter.

Hope you all enjoy! More adventures to come soon!
