Saturday/Sunday, April 13/14 (Conor)

 his weekend was very fun, it was full of activities and also time to sleep in and rest. Saturday we started out the day by getting the train to Dublin in the early afternoon. We ate at a restarting called Nando’s for lunch with some of the other boys on the trip(it was great). This was before we got back on the train and headed over to the Aviva stadium for the Leinster rugby match. We had a great time and Leinster got a big win. On the long trip back to Tullyallen we got spice boxes for the train. Next, on Sunday I slept in and then went with my host family to the nearby trim castle. We walked around and then got a tour of the inside. The castle is from the year 1172. After the tour we hung out and watched the Dublin vs. Meath Gaelic football game being played at croke park on tv. That was until I went out to dinner in Skerries at a great restaurant and now am back home recharging for the week.

Saturday/Sunday: Weekend with host families (Draylin)

After the hustle of yesterday today was definitely more relaxing. From what I know, many of us slept for a while. Today for me I went to my exchange students grandparents house. While walking we saw amazing scenery. With amazing mountains in the background. As we go I’m sure we will see more scenery like this everywhere.

Saturday/Sunday: Weekend with host families (Kip)

Saturday was a good day as we arrived around 8 am. When I first got here I got some rest then we went to downtown to go out to eat. We ate a spice bag which is just chicken fingers and fries in a bag with a bunch of spices. Then we went to a rugby game which was awesome as the atmosphere was amazing the whole time. Leinster ended up winning which is the time everyone roots for in Dublin. It was a great first day to the trip and excited to be here for two weeks!

Tuesday, April 9 (Sam)

  We had a lot of fun today inside the school, where we were able to experience a science class from one of the Belvedere science teachers, learn more about Irish culture with a movie, and some of us prepared for our upcoming debate with Belvedere students. We had some fun experiments with the science class, learned a lot about niche scientific topics, and got to show off our knowledge in the world of science! The debate group worked hard to prepare and hopefully score the BC High team a win this year, and the movie we watched, called Sing Street, was a great insight into Irish culture from a previous era!
