Hey everyone,
Last week was RAG (Raise and Give) week at UCC (University College Cork) They had a lot of events happening and most of the pubs were open early and all the money raised went to a charity. Last year they made 25,000 euro!! Anyways, as an event the dance club put on a flash mob in the middle of campus and I participated! I have attached the link to watch...enjoy :-)UCC Flash mob

LONDON
London was an unbelieveable time!! We arrived on thursday afternoon and met up with Kaycee, Maggie, Charlie and Mary. We got to use some people's oyster passes so didn't have to pay for transportation. Each day was filled with seeing the sites. We got to see big ben, the london eye, westminister, St. Paul Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, Harrods and much much more. At night we went to WICKED one night, Thriller live another night, and enjoyed some fabulous karoakee another night. For a valentine's date Charlie took me to The Spaghetti house for dinner (favorite food ever) and then we got to go to the chocolate bar at Harrod's where we had a delicious chocolate fondu. We got to stay in their flats and had a great time just bonding with the London group and talking with them. Overall, BEST WEEKEND ever....except for the mean easybus bus driver who wouldnt take our coins, everything else was great!!!!
Kerry :-)
Hey Everyone!
Sorry it has been so long, February has been a very busy month :-)
KERRY
The first weekend was organized by our Gaielic professor by the name of Marian. She took us to her hometown of Kerry where we got to see many fabulous scenes such as the skellig islands, killarney national park, slate cliffs, the forts and more. We got to stay in a very nice hotel with three course meals for breakfast lunch and dinner. Sadly, it rained all weekend...but to make up for the rain we got to meet a professional Gaielic football player (Morris Fitzgerald) and hear all about the popular sport, listen to a farmer speak about life in Ireland, learn some famous Irish songs and learn how to make a famous Britt cross which is very popular in Ireland, and lastly: learn some Ceili dancing. All the sites that we saw were beautiful, even with the rain. We also got to stop at a bog museum that was opened just for our group. It had scenes with real artifacts of what life was like during the famon in Ireland. On the last day we got to visit Danny O'Connell's holiday home. He was the leader of the catholic immancipation in Ireland. It was overall a fabulous trip. Our last stop was my favorite place yet, the Killarney national forrest, where we walked through a beautiful scene and stopped at a huge rainfall!
