Ploughing

 The ploughing Championship is a famous oudoor event celebrated in Ireland, and on our fifth day we went there.

I woke up at 4:30 am and got ready, then waited with my partner for our ride to come. Then we got to the train station where we met our friends and I also met some of my partner's friends.

We took two trains and a bus and then arrived to the ploughing. It was a masive display of tractors, stalls and little markets where all types of things were sold.



 Also, ir was very muddy and we all wore wellies.



We a lot of stalls and people bought jerseys, hurlys, slitters and many other things.

Then at 6 pm we had to go back, unfortunatly, our train was postponed and we had to wair two extra hours. Anyway, it was a great day.

Goodbye

Imagen
 Sadly, on october third our journey had ended. I woke up early in order to get everything ready, and then I said goodbye to my host family, who had treated me great in every way. After getting to Dublin came the worst part, say goodbye to our irish friends, some of them cried and others didn't, since it wasn't the last time seeing each other. Anyway, my student and I hugged and I told him to thanks the family for their gifts and everything they had done. Finally, after taking photos and waving goodbye we entered the airport on our way home. This experience was fantastic and I would choose to go again every single time. Thanks for everything.

 On Friday the 26th of september we didn't have class, so we went to Cork.  We went by train with other Erasmus students. When we arrives, we went to the marino market, where I bought a Gaa jersey amd we had lunch.  After that, my friends and I separated from the mami group to see Cork better, and we went to the English market and Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral. We also went to some shops and bought jewellery, clothes, etc. Then we met the others again and went to the train station to make our way back home.
