Program Description

Hofstra in Ireland
July 5- July 31, 2013

Spend four weeks in Ireland with us.  We begin with three weeks on Galway’s breathtaking Atlantic coast, at the National University of Ireland Galway.  We then go north west, to the misty mountains and expansive beaches of Donegal, and Malin Head, Ireland’s most northerly point.  We’ll be in Killybegs, Ireland’s largest fishing village, to admire the vessels and visit wih some local friends and Hofstra family.  Our trip finishes in Belfast, by way of the Giants Causeway, a geological phenomenon of about 40,000 interlocking columns – a truly unique site, full of myths and legends.
