The major project for my research this year was two weeks of wave basin testing at the Plymouth University COAST research facility.\u00a0 Since the models I was using were pretty big, I rented a van and drove them to the UK.\u00a0 I went from Dublin to Holyhead on the way there and Pembroke to Roslaire on the way back.\u00a0 This allowed me to drive through Wales both ways which was amazing.<\/p>\n

I was staying on the 8th floor of a hotel for the two weeks I was there and had pretty nice views of the harbor and an abandon church.<\/p>\n

Emily joined me at the end of the first week and we went to Cornwall for the weekend and stayed in Penzance.\u00a0 This was a great place to stay and explore the southwest peninsula.\u00a0 Our first stop was the Minack theatre<\/a> and the beach next to it.\u00a0 Both were spectacular:<\/p>\n

Then it was on to Lands End and Sennen Cove for some more great views<\/p>\n

We then stopped at St. Ives which was a very nice touristy town with lots of art galleries and a couple of very nice beaches and a harbour.<\/p>\n

The next morning we took a walk from Penzance to St Michael’s Mount<\/a> which was also very striking.\u00a0 We happened to be there at low tide and was able to walk out to the island via the causeway.<\/p>\n

During the second week, our friend Debbie, came and hung out in Plymouth with us and then joined us for our journey back to Ireland.\u00a0 We traveled across Wales over a couple of days and saw some great sights.<\/p>\n

We caught the ferry in Pembroke, which is a great little town with an amazing castle.\u00a0 They were having an arts and crafts fair so admission was free.<\/p>\n
