Chats and Castles

Today, like every day in Ireland, it was raining. We started the lessons at nine o'clock. After the lessons, we had lunch (if we can call it "lunch"), fish with salad and pasta. This afternoon, we visited King John's Castle in the city. We saw two short films about the castle's history. It was raining as well but we took lots of photos. We went to the castle's tower and we saw the Shannon river, Limerick, the Munster's Rugby Stadium, etc. Then, we went to the souvenir shop and bought some presents for the families. It's been an interesting visit! After that, we got down to the city center to go shopping: some girls went to a clothes shop and the other girls and the boys went to a film/music/videogame shop.
When we got back to the campus, we had dinner (the best meal of the day) and we played pool with the Italians at the Students Union Building. Later we went to do a chatting activity with all the Italians. We had to talk to a person for two minutes and then move around and talk to a different person, that's been so fun and we've found out many interesting things about the other students! On the way back to the appartments, we've taken a different way to pass over the Living Bridge. It's the longest hanging bridge in Ireland and it was opened by the President of Ireland in 2010. It's one of the most important architectural icons of the university and of Ireland too. And that's been our great day!

  2. Hello Montse for being next to us!
    Everyday is like a new exciting experience and all the group are really involved in the Irish way of life. The weather is not a problem for us, we can do all the programmed activities under the rain.
    It's a pleasure to get your comments because it don't seem to be as far as we are.
