September 6 - First Day

First of all, this day I was very nervous, since I was going to Ireland, it was the second time I was flying and I was so nervous to meet my host family that my heart was going to burst. But fortunately everything went well: at 10am, I went to the old bus station in Logroño, where we took a bus to Bilbao. Upon arriving in this city, around 12pm we took another bus that took us to the airport, where we still had to wait 2 hours to check in and at 2:55pm the flight was leaving, unfortunately it was delayed 50 minutes, until 3:45pm, and we boarded around 3:25pm, on the plane, I was alone, but with my friend Alba was behind me, so when we took off, since no one sat next to Alba, Naroa and I sat next to her so we could be together, and around 6pm in Ireland we landed, we waited 30 minutes at the airport to collect suitcases and we waited for Ms Fogarty to arrive with the Irish people, they had a private bus, so we all got on and were on the bus for 4 hours from Dublin to Kilfinanne, where our host family would pick us up. When we arrived, Liz, my host mother, and Alannah, my host sister, were there. They were lovely and showed me a little of the town even though it was dark while we were heading to Ardpatrick, where they lived.


Here are some pictures from this day:

On this day, we went to school as normal, I got up at 7:30, I took a shower and dressed in bad clothes since we were going to get dirty while hiking and I went to have breakfast, when we finished, we went to school, the first three hours we could do different activities such as self-defense activities, swimming, cooking or go on an excursion to a mountain in Ardpatrick (where I lived) to go hiking, many of the students from Spain decided to stay at school doing self-defense activities but Naroa, Amber, Marina and I, among others, decided to immerse ourselves in the experience of going hiking, since Dillon, who is from that town, told me that it was very windy in the high mountains where we were going to hike, So we wanted to go.
