Hello everyone!! Today was another delightful day filled with wonder and adventure. We went to a handful of places, from Donegal, Sligo, to Ballina. Let me back up and recount today's journey for you guys.
The first stop was Donegal, where we shopped til we dropped. We spent an hour going from store front to store front browsing knick knacks and doo-hops. The store owners were super nice and helped us find what we needed. People bought wool sweaters and Irish rings, it was great. When the rain came down and the sky turned grey-er, we knew it was time to go (also, our teachers told us we only had an hour).
We hoped on the bus and began our drive to Sligo. On this drive, we had two stops. The first stop was in the middle of the road to look at the Atlantic. I felt like I was in a movie. The morning fog was magical AND there was a castle in the distance. The second stop was William Butler Yeats's grave. The Irish graveyards are beautifully decorated. Although we didn't stay long (long enough to see the grave and grab a croissant) we had a great time.
When we finally made it to Sligo, we searched for food. To our dismay, no shops were open yet for lunch. Instead, we went to a bookstore. The books were almost as good as fod, but not quite. I did not want to stay long. When it was finally lunchtime, the group went to a pub-like diner. This would've been swell, until me and my dear friend Rowan realized all the food had nuts or traces of them. Me and Rowan left in search of other food. We came across asian cuisine, which was delicious for a fair price. We were delighted!!!
When it was time to leave Sligo, we went to the Atlantic Ocean again!! This time, it was a beach. We climbed on the rocks and Rowan touched the water. It was awesome-socks.
We finally made it to Ballina where we enjoyed a wonderful meal that included chocolate cake. The cake was great. It was everything I hoped and prayed for. It may have been my favorite part of the day. Joking!!! (Only a little)
YAYYYYYYYY FOR IRELAND #chocolatecake #nutfree #wesawalotoffatbirds
