G'day! G'day!
Time flies when you`re having fun! We are saying goodbye to Galway and saying hello to Dublin. Despite all the rain, we`ve managed to enjoy many activities in and around Galway. Thursday the students hoped on a bus and headed down to the cliffs of Moher. On the way, they explored the Ailwee cave, which has 3,400 feet of passages leading into the mountain, a 600 thousand year old dolman (a burial ground), and visited the stunning cliffs of Moher- the edge of Europe. The students were excited to see the beauty of the cliffs and hiked along the side. On the way back, they visited the ancient ruins of a cathedral. The pictures can`t truly capture how beautiful the day was!
To enjoy our last day in Galway, students began their day with a 3 hour class on the beautiful campus of Galway. After infusing their minds with new concepts, students and teachers headed to the Aran Islands for the afternoon. We explored the island on bicycles and by foot under the bright sun. Some visited the sweater market, while others explored The Black Fort and light house and the seal sanctuary. Some even decided to take a swim in the Atlantic Ocean. The island can be described as eclectic and unique! Their way of life seems so simple and pure! It was a great feeling being surrounded by such welcoming and serene people.
Our last night in Galway was spent roaming the streets of Galway and enjoying the live entertainment surrounding us!
We are now headed to Dublin and will be staying at Trinity College. During our time in the capital, we will visit the Kilmainham Gaol, take an afternoon hike in Howth, visit the Wicklow Mountains and stop by the Guinness Brewery!
The whole group is adapting very well to this culture. They have been very trustworthy and respectful. We have nothing but good things to report back!
We will be in touch again in a couple of days! Enjoy the pictures J
