FIFA

today we slept in and then had some toast for breakfast. it wasn't too nice of a day out but we got on the DART (train) and headed to the town of Malahide. It was misty, windy and a little chilly but it had a really nice beach and it reminded us of walking the coast of lake michigan on a late fall day. we had a rock skipping contest and i won with 7 skips and nick had 5. we went and ate the sandwich and chips that we had packed on a little bench and watched some people playing tennis. i love some of the words people use here like rubbish and calling people bold and using me instead of i. after lunch we decided to head back since it wasn't a great day out. i like the train more than the bus because it's not a constant stop and go but the train was a little old. the seats looked like they were from the 70's. when we got back we just hung out in nick's room until dinner. we had carrots, peas, turnips (we've had them before but i just found out what they were) 2 kinds of potatoes and beef. it was really good and really filling. after dinner we hung out in nick's room again until the fifa world cup came on. it was a really good game and the us had so many chances to win but ended up losing in a shoot out. a really good game to watch though. while we were watching angela brought us some hot chocolate and cookies. tomorrow we have to head back to school which sucks but the day always seems to go by a lot faster and we get to watch aoife play some basketball :)
