A few noteworthy things that happened this week:
1. Our coordinator from Iowa came to visit and check how we are doing. She told us it is unacceptable to miss class to travel but whatever we are doing it anyways for this weekend :)
2. On Wednesday night, we went out to celebrate Neha and Cory's Birthdays! We found a very nice bartender from the US who let us come and play our American music and gave us free food. We danced all night! We also ate chocolate birthday cake that we bought from Eroski (the grocery store) with straws because we didn't have any forks.
3. WE ARE GOING TO IRELAND IN LESS THAN 13 HOURS!!! So today was St. Patrick's Day and being good Americans, we all wore green to school. None of the Spanish people celebrate this holiday so we kinda stuck out but oh well. I am so excited for Ireland!!! We will be gone til Tuesday! We are planning to visit the Blarney Stone, the Book of Kells at Trinity College, the Guinness Factory, St. Patrick's Cathedral, an English Market, and the Cork Jail. We will be in Cork and Dublin.
Adios until next week!
ooooh! The Guinness Factory. Curt's favorite drink was a Black and Tan before he learned he had celiac disease. It is a beer that is half pale ale, and half dark / Guinness.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Never heard of it before. I really do not like Guinness. I found this great stuff called Bulmer's Irish Cider that is really good!
ReplyDeleteoooh! Ciders are Curt's friend as they are gluten free for the most part. I've taken a liking to them as well. Will see if they have that in the stores here.
