Welcome Banquet Day!!

On the way to school, I just kind of turned and snapped this photo -- view from across the sheep field below our cottages <3

The best crisps I've ever had, here or at home. It's probably the fact that they're baked in sunflower oil, and are all shades of delicious.

Because I was feeling antsy today, I went down to the beach and ran around in bare feet. Little did I know that Clew Bay is very cold, and the wind was very very cold -- but the view was gorgeous. Clare Island in this picture <3

I came back from scampering around the beach to find Colleen, Brittnie, Katie, Bailey, and Katie M. playing Skip-Bo very ferociously. We all had some strawberry-mango tea and chatted for a bit :)

I don't think we have this flavor back home. I find this super ironic.

My first bulls-eye at darts -- it was a practice round, and I lost the one game I played against Kyle (we're tied now, 1-1) but I was pretty proud of myself :)

Three of the coolest guys around -- John Staunton, owner of the pharmacy down the road and director of the cottage board; Peter Sweeney, manager of the cottages and all-around go-to guy for any and all problems; and of course our very own Tom Zelman(sometimes Hagan) :D

Probably the best picture my camera got of the set dancing we were learning last night!!! I danced almost all night, so I think Kyle took this picture with the camera I left on the table... It was a lot of fun but a lot of work. My feet are still sore the next morning.

All the girls and Peter -- we were yelling at the boys to take notes ;)
That was yesterday -- it's 8:15 in the morning on Friday now, and we're about to take off for Balintubber and Castlebar. I think we're going to the pub after we get back, so I won't be blogging again until Saturday morning. Wish me luck!! :D
