The Irish Country Side (June 2015)
Kennedy in Rome
I studied abroad in Ireland in June. The Irish love John F. Kennedy for obvious reasons; he’s the first catholic president of the U.S. The Irish have a lot of pride in their heritage and culture, and a big part of that is being Catholic. In Galway Cathedral, a stunning monument to the Roman Catholic church which was built in 1965, they payed tribute to JFK by making a mosaic of him praying.
It’s been a while! I’ve had a crazy, great first year of college filled with new confidence, friends, and a boyfriend! I’m glad to have the time to be back now :)

JFK and Bobby conferring in the East Room.
"A sail from Cape Cod to Maine, with a southwest breeze, is a glorious adventure, and it’s a trip that Bobby and I had enjoyed in years past. About twenty miles from Hyannis, you see a sweep of sand dunes. And as the sun descends, only a few lights appear onshore, and so you head off into the darkness. Yet in the darkness you can see well into the distance, once you have learned where and how to look. The Cape gradually disappears, and the shore lights with it. After a while, new distant lights, small and bright, appear in the shoreline. And then the full darkness descends. Seldom is there another boat in sight. And that is the truly magical time of sailing, because the North Star appears: the North Star, which has been the guiding star for all seamen through time. The North Star guides you through the evening. Its light is the most definite thing you can see on the surface of the dark water. And so you have the North Star, and the sound and swell of the shifting water. And sometimes the fog will come in and you must go by the compass for a period. But you are always waiting to see the North Star again, because it is the guide to home port; it is the guide to home. And so the voyage becomes all-inclusive; you are enveloped in the totality of it: you are a part of the beginning, you are a part of the end. You are a part of the ship and a part of the sea. I gazed at the night sky often on those voyages, and thought of Bobby.” - Ted Kennedy
JFK JR.
don’t hurt BEES. they just want to pollinate flowers and make honey. hurt WASP’s. fuck them and their old money, big mansions, and country clubs
Idk I'm just so so soooo angry that they killed Jack and Bobby. It's just pointless. So incredibly sad that the people usually targeted are the people who want peace.
President Kennedy.
