Study Abroad, Day 15

Today we left for church at 10:30am. We went to St. Augustine's, which is an Anglican church. It was pretty interesting. We sang a lot of hymns! Everyone's favorite song was the childrens song. It was pretty funny. After church, we got back on the bus & headed to Donegal. It was a pretty long drive & the weather wasn't too great. So we got to town & most shops were closed since it was Sunday. We went to the Donegal Castle, ate some lunch, went into some stores, & then got back on the bus. We were supposed to head to the Donegal Cliffs, but it was decided that the weather was too bad to go. Apparently it is a very narrow road & it would have taken too long once you factored in the rain. We decided to spend some more time in Donegal & went in a few more shops.

We then headed back to Inch House, where we made dinner for our bus driver, Frank (who is amazing, by the way), Tony (who owns & runs Inch House), his wife, & Isabella who helps them (& us) out. I helped Ang, Daniel, & Jess make some cookies for desert, & then Greg & I set the table. Dinner took forever (we had Jambalaya), so we ate pretty late. Clean up also took forever, but we are finally finished. I am pretty tired! My teeth are really bothering me (stupid dentist...) & my throat is still pretty sore (stupid cold...). I am definitely ready to go to bed. Plus, tomorrow we have an early day. This week will be spent at INCORE, the International Conflict Research Institute. It was established in 1993 by the University of Ulster & the United Nations University. We are attending their Summer School, which is going to amazing. We are actually going to be the first undergraduate students to attend, which is very intimidating! Anyways, that is it for today!




This is Daniel, baking cookies.
