I landed safely in Ireland yesterday and have been really busy since. Internet is pretty spotty here, so I'm going to make this brief until I get to Belfast. Right now, I'm staying outside of Downpatrick in a mill-turned-hotel. It is a wonderful place, and the other 11 ambassadors are great as well. So far, I've attended an Orange parade (which will probably warrant it's own post), seen the oldest church in Ireland, the burial place of St. Patrick, Brigid, and Colmcille, launched a peace garden, and toured the beautiful County Down.
I'll post more when I can.

I'm glad you got there safe, lad.
Sounds like you've had a good time so far.
Did you enjoy the lovely orange parade?
I got caught in the city centre a wee while back wearing a green and yellow striped rugby shirt (University of Oregon) as an Orange parade went by. Oh man. Tense.
