Kinsale

Good Morning!!

So this weekend is a long weekend for us becuase we have Monday off. No reason, they just call it a bank holiday. So that's okay with us!! Yesterday we went to Kinsale becsuse it was beautiful outside so we thought it was a perfect day to go to a harbor town! Well we forgot that something called the Kinsale 7's (huge rugby championship) were going on and literally thousands of people were trying to get to the town. We went to catch a bus at 12:30 but there were so many people, it was literally a mob to get on the bus... no line just people shoving eachother.

We were also surrounded by sixteen year olds that were dressed in neon tank tops and mini skirts that were smoking. ( Yeah neon is the fad here and EVREYONE under the age of 24 wears it and it is TERRIBLE!!!) Plus they all smoke, and really early! Like 12 years old!!!!!

Anyway... we finally got to Kinsale and we walked around for a while and got some lunch. We sat at this really cute cafe outside with a guy playing an accordian. It was sooo nice!!

We got some cute gifts and we were on our way back to good ol' cork.


School is going well. I am teaching the junior infants tomorrow becuase their teacher is out for the day. My class is doing great. We had a fruit party the other day, promoting healthy eating.


THIS WEEK:
- we are going to be volunteering at an after school program for two hours each day this week.
- Coffee with my teacher after school on Tuesday
- Our plans for next weekend: DINGLE!!!
-Our plans for out last weekend here (2 weeks): DUBLIN with the girls from England!!!!!


I think that is all I need to tell everyone!! Look at my new pictures!!! Love you all. Be home in about two and a half weeks! :)
