This afternoon we had Arts and Crafts, and then we had Emerald Olympics. The girls played against each other at first, and then they joined Spanish, Italian, Russian, and Brazilian students in a game in which they had to bring a flag into their team’s safe area. They had a lot of fun.

This afternoon we visited the Wax Museum. This evening was the Disco Dance. Since this will be our last dance night and many students will be leaving this weekend, our students decided to wear their yukata. The other students thought they looked very cute. All had a good time dancing.

Today we visited the National Museum of Ireland. We saw things from the Mesolithic and Neolithic ages (7000 to 3700 BC). We also say things from the Viking and the Medieval Era. We saw the famous Ardagh Chalice and the Tara Brooch. On our way back to St. Stephen’s Green we also saw the Mayor’s Mansion.

Today we visited Trinity College. We saw the Book of Kells and the Library. It was very impressive. This evening after dinner we had Crazy Golf. The students enjoyed themselves. Dublin is back to its normal weather: rain and a little cool, about 19 degrees. We must always carry an umbrella.

This afternoon the girls learned how to play the ‘Bodhran’ pronounced バイラオン. It is the traditional Irish drum. They also sang some Irish songs. After this, they went to the hockey field where they learned some Kick Boxing and a few self defense moves from a professional instructor. They had fun.
