monday, 9 am, dublin

what a great weekend! friday we left at 8 am to hop on the paddywagon bus. our drive, coincidentally named paddy, was so awesome! he told so many stories and jokes and knew everything about ireland. he had 3 rules, #1-if you have any suggestions on where to go, tell him because this trip was only about having fun, #2-you must sit next to someone different each time you get back on the bus. #3-dont be last on the bus or you will have to sing im a little teapot. i met people from australia, new zealand, england, scotland, texas and iowa. it was so much fun. the highlights of the trip were, playing baseball with hurling sticks in pheonix park, clanmacnoise old monastic cemetery, galway, siamsa-an irish music and dancing show, cliffs of moher, the burren area, a wishing well, 2 leprechaun houses, lahinch-a surfing beach, lakes of killarney on a horse and buggy ride, st. marys cathedral, cahir castle, the rock of cashel-the most photographed place in ireland, the blarney castle (We already did it so we went to church), and i think thats it! it was so much fun...i went with one other girl so me and her really got a chance to know each other and it was just great. my favorite part of ireland was the siamsa show because it revolved around the story of st. brigid! it was awesome...pictures should be on the website today, check it out!
love you all
