Kilkenny

First off here's my blog from yesterday. the internet got shut off while i was doing it so i wrote it in word and now it's copied and pasted:

I keep forgetting to do my blog and they're getting somewhat repetitive but oh well. we woke up and went to the National Museum of Ireland Natural History Museum aka "The Dead Zoo". It was neat but kind of weird because it was just an entire museum of taxidermy animals. after that we were going to go to another museum but just ended up walking around and found a place that made the chicken sub we had the other day cheaper than where we got it before and we stood under an awning and ate lunch. after that we just got on a bus and went back and took naps and started doing some reading for one of our papers before dinner. for dinner we had pizza and a salad. i love pizza. and then we went into dun laoghaire and got some ice cream and walked around. we seen a sea lion in the water which was cool. we then came back and just hung out. our host family showed us a tv show that had a famous dublin singer and she was really good. aoife brought us cookies and hot chocolate and tomorrow we have to wake up early for an exciting tour of wicklow :)

Now for today. We went on the tour and the first stop was to a little abbey that had a round tower, a grave yard and then about a mile back there were 2 famous lakes. the next stop was to an ancient burial chamber which was a HUGE rock which was being held up by 3 other quite big rocks. then we went to Kilkenny and we shopped at pennys. nick got 2 pairs of shorts and i got a necklace and shoes. the kilkenny castle looked pretty cool. a lot bigger than some of the other ones we've seen and then we went and walked around all of the paths. there was a huge open field and some crazy guy was dancing so we took videos of him. it was pretty funny. after that we headed back to dublin and then got a bus home. the bus ride was annoying because the bus was FULL so nick and i couldn't sit next to each other. i had to sit next to an old man that was sick (literally sick) and kept coughing. finally we got back and had dinner about an hour ago. it was eggs, sausage, potatoes, fried onions, ham and stuffing. it was really good. tomorrow we're planning on going back to killarney hill if it's nice out and then watching the US hopefully dominate in the fifa world cup with out host family :)
