They have two daughters, one boy called Ada, he's 12 years old, and a girl called Ciara, she's 24 years old. When we arrive at their house we spend the afternoon with them playing videogames and also playing cars the whole family! We had dinner at 18:00h which is a bit strange, but anyways
it was a funny day.
2nd Day. The Cliffs.
On the second day we went to the Cliffs of Moher the whole day, but it was a very long tour at the bus to arrive there. We spend almost 5 hours in total at the bus. But it was really pleasant because the Cliffs were absolutely amazing!
We where 153 meters from the sea, and it completely impact me. It was my second time there, because I went 4 years ago with my family, but anyways, it was still incredible.
That day we woke up at 8:00h because we had to be at the bus at 9:00h. And when we came back in the afternoon, we where playing basketball with Adam and Ciara, and later, Ignasi, Marc M and Roc came at our house because our families are really good friends between them.
later we had dinner with the family, and after that, Maria and me we where playing with the little cat and the dog that the family have.
3rd Day. Dublin.
The 3rd Day, we woke up at the same hour as the day before, so basically at 9 o'clock we where at the bus going to Dublin. AT the morning it was approximately 1 hour and a half till arriving to Dublin. When we finally get there. We divide Our class in three groups, and my group went to the boat of Jeannie Johnston, and the guide told us the story about the victims of the boat and the history that it has. Later, we went to see a really sad sculpture that was in the middle of the street. It was about different persons (victims of the accidents) walking to the boat to save their life.
After that, the teachers gave us time to go to Dublin for 45 minutes, and I went to the O'conolly street with Ariadna C, to see how it was.
At 1:00pm, we were all the class together and we divide ourselfs in groups to go lunch anywhere we wanted. So I went with Alba C, and Ariadna C.
After that, at 2pm, we divided the class in groups, and we went each group to do the Instagram Challenge, that consist of taking pictures of different places and post it n Instagram, It was like a little competition between all the groups, so it was kinda funny, I think our group went really fast, and I really enjoyed.
When we arrive at home, it was a bit late, so we had dinner just at that moment, at 7pm.
It was a good day.
4th Day. Sports.
On the fourth day we went a bit earlier in the morning, cause we had to be at 8:10 at the bus, so we woke up at 7:00h.
We went at Clonmacnoise in the morning, and our guide was very funny, he couldn't stop making jokes. We where watching a video, and then visiting all around the place.
Then, we went to the business school of Moate to work on our project of the blogger with our groups.
We where working 2 hours and then we went to have lunch all together. At the afternoon we where playing Gaelic football, and actually it was really difficult for me, but it was funny.
That day was raining a big amount of time of the day, so it was a bit boring, but here in Ireland, it's almost always raining.
When we finished playing, we went with our families at home, we had dinner and later, we went again at the meeting point, and we went all together to see an Irish concert, where Ariadna C, Norah D and me, sang the song "Rule the world".
It was an amazinf day!
5th Day. GPO.
This day, we went to Dublin again to visit the museum GPO, which was kind of interesting because apart from doing the general guided tour, we watched a short film that was very surprising. I liked this activiti because I learned a big amount of things about Ireland that I didn't know before.
After that, we had 1 hour of free time and I went with Norah, Berta...etc to buy things for our families. And 1 hour later, we went again with the school and we did another guided tour around Dublin. It was actually really good because our guide was so exiting and funny. So I really had a very good time that morning. Then we had more free time to lunch and finally we came back with our families in Moate. We spend the afternoon talking with the old daughter of the family and her boyfriend, about how was our and their day.
6th Day. Galway.
On the 6th day, we went to Galway, a village that was around 1 hour and 30 minutes away from Moate. When we arrive there, firstly our teachers told us that we has to do another challenge on our Intagram, so basically we spend the whole morning walking all around Galway to find that places where we had to take pictues of ourselves there. But, the funnier thing, was that it was raining all the time, so we all get really wet during the day.
When all the groups finished the challenge, we had a big part of the afternoon to have lunch and free time. Here it was when I went with Noa S, Marc S and Arnau V, to a shop called Penneys, which is quite similar as our Primark. We send there all the time and we really had fun there.
When we came back to Moate, Maria and me had dinner really fast with our host family, and the, we started preparing ourselves for the party of that night. When it was 20:30h, we went to the disco called Echo, at the centre of Moate, and everyone was there really elegant. We spend all the night till 23.00h dancing, singing and laughing with our friends and teachers. It was really funny because in a moment, Axel, one of our teachers, Started dancing with us, and then, the rest of the teachers came to dance with us too, it was really funny, and we couldn't stop laughing.
I really enjoyed that night.
7th Day. The Guiness storehouse.
The 7th day, was our last day in Ireland, so we went to visit the Guiness storehouse, that, in addition, I've got to say that it's amazing. I've been there 4 times before, so it was the fifth time that I visited the Guiness factory, but it was still incredible. We had free time to visit the Guiness Storehouse and complete our questions for the dossier. And then, I went with Alessia G, to finish visiting the place.
After visiting that, we went to the St. Patricks cathedral, and we also complete different questions about that place, and then, we take some photos around there.
When we finished, all the students went to a really big park, that was 15 minutes away from Dublin, and there we had our lunch.
Later, we went to the bus again and we get to the airport at 17:30 aprox. At the plane I was with Noa and Marc. ANd we arrive in barcelona at 22:30h aprox. I really enjoyed this voyage to Ireland, I'm sure I will never forget it.
IRELAND FOR ME...
From my experience, this is the third time that I came to Ireland, and I've got to say, that it has been a really amazing to have this opportunity to go with the school and our friends alll together.
We were doing lots of differents things all of this days, but we really learned very much about Ireland, and I think that one of the most imprtant things it is that we knowed how to be alone in another country and another family. Because this is not only about learning english, it is about gain experience in life to make things work out.
But apart from that, I thing all of the students had much fun.
I love the part of the travel when we went to galway, because it is a very beautiful place and I'm very pleased that we could have gone. And for sure it would be amazzing to repeat this experience another time. It was my favourite year!
