-Today Brittany's parents arrived. We met up with them for dinner.

-Later that night was the "pirates vs ninja party" that the Irish students were throwing. A joke as us, since only the Americans dressed up. Everyone else was a pirate, but i couldnt throw anythign together so i ended up wearing all black and decided to be a ninja. It was fun anyways.

Tuesday

March 3rd

Woke up for bfast and service at 9:30- 11:30. Ann drove us there and we then walked back. We went to teh soup Kitchen- it was well run and surprisingly clean. Our job was to clean up dishes after the men and women. It went okay. We walked back afterward just in time for lunch.

Everyone else was going to Penny's (really cheap clothing store) but Jen and I stayed back and watched 10 things i hate about you. Thank goodness we didn't go, because it was POURING as we were watching the movie. It would have been miserable walking back or even waiting for teh bus.

For the rest of the day we pretty much just hung around.

Monday

march 2nd

Today we were all so exhausted- for theology we had father Micheal. He was a cute old priest hah. he could tell we went on the paddywagon tour the weekend before- he said we all looked exhausted!

-after class we had lunch, did some laundry (FOR FREE!!) had art class at 3, and just hung around relaly. I did some of the art project, some of my paper, and some catching up on this blog. I talked to dad after dinner, and went to sleep later that night.

Not too much of an interesting day.

- Waited for everyone to be ready so we could leave this morning to our next destination.

-Left Killarny and were on the bus for about a half hr until we came to County Cork- and Blarney.
We went to the Blarney Castle- walked around there for a bit; kissed the blarney stone, walked around eh park around the castle. Left Blarney after 1.

-We drove through Cork. I read while everyone else slept until we got to our next spot- Tipperary Rock- Gorgeous views of the city and fields. While we were on the rock there was a huge rainbow. It was so pretty.

-Got back onto the bus and headed home to Dublin. Arrived about 6:30. we were all really tired.

It was an amazing weekend and i had a blast! im so glad we all went togther and toured all of Ireland; well a big part of it anyway!
