Apologies everyone. I have been slacking on my blog for the past week.
Everything has just been so crazy lately. I can't believe there is only one week until I go home! Where has the time gone?
For the past few weeks I have just been soaking up the sites in Dublin. It is wonderful to see all the Christmas lights showering the streets. Everywhere you look, you can see people caroling and performing. One of the pictures I posted is of a man posing as a statue. Initially, I thought he was a statue, until he started to move. It was funny to watch the pigeons fighting on his arm while he just stood there.
Let me just talk about food for a moment. Tuesday, December 8th was a Holy Day so my school had off. I spent the day meandering in the city again and came across the most amazing crepes. I spent about 7 dollars on a banana and nutella crepe. OOOO and Starbucks robs people. I bought the largest hot chocolate and paid about 7.50 dollars.....robbery. Yet so amazing. I would do it again. I bought it because I was in a Christmas mood. I should probably quell that Christmas mood because it is making me spend way too much money. It is so hard to resist when there are street vendors everywhere!
Aside from my spending excursions, I have been teaching everyday at St. Mary's. I posted a picture of a few of my second grade boys during a singing performance.
The last picture I put up is of my host family's living room. I just want to lounge in this room and sit by the fire all night.
