Sunday in Ireland

 From the three weeks I have been here I have learned that Sundays are relaxed days, or at least in my Irish family. It's a day when you're at home relaxing or else you go and visit your family.

Yesterday morning I went for a walk in my city with my host family's dog. We went to a park and walked around for quite a while, until it started to rain.Good thing I was wearing my raincoat and didn't get too wet.

In the evening I went to my grandparents' house for dinner. The dinner was delicious. My plate was full of things like boiled vegetables, turkey and jacket potatoes. Grandma told me that this kind of dinner was very typical for Christmas. I was also talking to my host grandfather about what it was like where I live. And I have shown him where my house, school and my village were.

At seven o'clock we came back home. One hour later the match between Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid started. The match was won by Atlético de Madrid three to one.

And this has been my Sunday of relaxation but we have done many things at the same time.

 On September 27th my exchange in Ireland finished.I was very excited because I just had such an incredible experience. I had met many nice people and seen many new places.That day we were traveling all the time. We left Kilfinane at seven o'clock in the morning. We went by bus to Dublin. At the airport we waited for the plane. Our flight was delayed because of thunderstorms. At six o'clock in the evening we arrived in Bilbao. There we took a bus that took us directly to Logroño.     When I arrived to Logroño I was very exicited to see all my family. My friends came to pick me up at the bus station. It was a surprise for me, because I didn't know they were coming to see me. I was happy because it had been a long time since we had seen each other. This experience has helped me a lot to discover new things. I am a very shy person and I think that this experience has helped me to be more open and now I can do more things that I didn't do before because I was embarr...

18th September in Ireland surfing and Moher cliffs

 Today we had an excursion for all Erasmus students. To get to the beach we had to take a bus that took two and a half hours to get to Lahinch. We arrived to the place and went to put on our wetsuits. It was my first time surfing in a long  time but I wasn't too nervous. In the sea there were many waves and the water was very cold. We had our wetsuits on and it wasn't too cold. We spent two hours surfing. I had a great time because I managed to get up many times on the surfboard. By the time we finished I was very tired. We went to the bus and arrived at the Cliffs of Moher. The Cliffs of Moher are visited by many people. They are very high and black in color. One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. That was my favorite excursion because we did lots of things in a day

Weekend in Ireland

Imagen
 There was one weekend that I did a lot of things. Saturday was the start of the San Mateo festivities in my city in Spain. All the exchange students went to a park to see it together and then we went to Limerick for the day. Went shopping some things we need. We walked around the streets. The buildings aren`t as in Spain.The houses had two or three floors. The streets were very long because there were many buildings of this type.   On Sunday we went for a walk in a park in the town of Mallow.     It rains a lot in Ireland, the landscape is very green. I was playing with my Irish dog, Lola.  I was running with her in the park.   There was also a field with deer. Lola thought she was a deer and ate grass. In that park there was a very grand old house. It was a cafeteria. I was also playing with Lola running around the park.  Finally in the afternoon we went to visit the grandparents. We took a walk in the Charleville park with them.
