So last night Michelle and I, and her friend Jess from school that is visiting for the week, went to the Kings Head to see the traditional Irish band "Hot Chicken Reels" again. The band where we ended up meeting the banjo/accordian player down at the arch. Well we went and saw them again and hung out with them all night last night! I didnt get home until 3:30am. We were dancing at this hippie club to the beatles all night. It was so much fun.
I have a fieldtrip today to Corcomore & Cahercammaun to see more Irish tombs from the neolitic era. I'm excited about it, but im sick and my nose is running a marathon, so i dont feel to up for hiking again. Other than that, things have been good. Sorry, i dont post often, i feel like i'm running out of stuff to say! Do you really want to hear what it is i do everyday? I feel like that would get boring.
But the night before last, we hung out with Suibhne and his friends again. (see picture below) We had a blast as always.
In my irish language class, our teacher's name is Ken, and he is my age. Absolutely hilarious guy who isnt afraid to act his age :) He is doesnt think that weve been going to the right places in town, so he is going to take us out to a "pub crawl" on Monday (man i sound like an alcoholic which SOO isnt the case). So that should be interesting.
Tomorrow our group leaves for Dingle; a peninsula on the southwest side of Ireland. I'm not sure what were doing there, but the school is putting us up in a Hostel for the weekend and i think we are going to visit some castles. So that should be fun! I'm not sure what to expect. OH! Funny story though: one of the instructors/student helpers here named David thinks Michelle and I are his favorite students (out of 180....he told us so:) and he was supposed to meet us at the Kings Head on July 4th to celebrate with us, but he never showed up. And apparently today he found Michelle and gave her a bunch of crap for standing us up (which isnt true...he never showed up or we never saw him....probably the former). So now he is coming to Dingle this weekend and he promised to take us out for drinks.
Solomon: He looks just like you, or reminds me of you SO much. :) It makes me miss you!
Okay, have to get ready to go shopping!
Top 5 things i miss today:
1. Hot showers any time of the day
2. not having to pay 12 euro to do a load of laundry
3. having a room bigger than 10x10 square feet!
4. Water that doesnt taste like it came out of a aligator swamp
5. My motorcycle (i dont know why i miss this so much....probalby because EVERYONE here has one)
Top 5 things i LOVE:
1. Dancing to the Beatles all night until 3 in the morning :)
2. Always having something to do!
3. getting to wear my super cute rain coat all the time
4. being in a culture that is so centered around Music
5. Learning about Ireland!
I'll try and post tonight about my field trip and put up some pictures, but no promises. The internet here is really terrible and rarely (if ever) works. So i have a hard time uploading pictures and even being able to get on the internet.
Me and Michelle throwing coins off of the cliffs at Dun Aonghesa (sp?). We made wishes and threw them over our heads backwards. Probably not the smartest idea!
Me and Suibhne at the Kings head!Until Later!
