B-E-A-UTIFUL

today we had waffles/pancakes for breakfast and i had nutella on the pancake, butter with syrup and jam on one waffle and butter and syrup on the other. we then met up with the aha group and headed to Glasnevin Cemetery. it's a huge cemetery and it's split up into 2 different parts. the part we were in had over 1.5 million people buried there and around 800,000 didn't have head stones. there was one time where our tour guide said there were bodies only 6-8cms beneath us. we seen some different famous people and i got to touch a coffin that apparently gives you good luck. the most famous grave we seen was Michael Collins. he helped with the IRA and all that stuff. for lunch we each had our own chips and then we went into dublin and found a place that had a really good chicken sandwich. we still had some time to kill so we went onto trinity's campus and laid in the sun on the grass. we both ended up falling asleep (me longer than nick) and then was woken up by a lawn mower. we met up with the group again and went to dublin castle. it was really cool to see the inside of a castle that was still in use and actually standing. we got back and for dinner we had sweet and sour chicken over white rice. our host family then took us to killarney hill. it was a bit of a hike but the views were amazing. we seen another harbor that our bus/dart pass will get us to so we might go see that on some weekend. Angela brought us some scones with butter and jam on them with some hot chocolate and it was another great day in ireland :)
