Last weekend I did a homestay weekend in Gorey, Ireland. I spent the weekend with a family of four in a small town outside of Dublin. It was fantastic to see how an Irish family lives and spend time with them. There was two little boys in the family, ages two and four. The family was so kind and took me all over town and fed me for every meal. I realized that weekend family life here in Ireland is similar to families in America. We ate a full Irish breakfast, watched cartoons with the kids, and went to the beach on Saturday. On Sunday we went to Mass and did a little shopping and then I headed back to Dublin!
After another week of classes and soccer practice I stayed in Dublin for the weekend. I spent my time visiting the Dublin Castle, Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Christ's Church and a small farmer's market over the past weekend. All of the buildings and sights were absolutely stunning. I love going into the city and exploring Dublin. There is always something to do.
Upcoming trips include a weekend in Belfast, Northern Ireland, followed by a long weekend in Berlin, Germany.
Everything is grand!
