September 12 - Dublin Day

 This day, I also woke up early, at 7:30, since although we were not going to school we were going to Dublin to pick up the 2-week students, I showered, dressed, and went out to have breakfast as usual, we left at 8:15 since Liz has to go in earlier one day a week, so we arrived at the school at 8:20, and there all the Erasmus students waited until we got on the bus, and at 9 we went to Dublin.

We arrived at 12.15 pm and visited the city playing a game in which each Spanish student and their respective Irish student had to read a description of the iconic monument of Dublin that they were assigned, the Spanish one said it in English and the Irish one in Spanish, then We had lunch on a university campus and then we went to the airport, we had to wait more than an hour there since the flight was delayed, so we took the opportunity to charge our phones and buy food and when they arrived we gave them a splendid welcome. When we were all there, and the Irish and Spaniards already knew each other for 2 weeks, we explained everything about the institute and Ireland to the Spaniards. Afterwards, we returned to Kilfinanne, halfway there, around 8:15 p.m. we stopped at a restaurant chain called Limerick Junction, and there we all ate. When we finished, we returned to the bus and continued on our way. When we arrived, around 10:30 p.m., our host family was waiting for each of us to take us home.ç


Here are some pictures of this day:
