Here we go again!!! After typing my first week up I accidentally erased everything!!!
I finally get this thing working, too. It seems that if something goes wrong with something--there I am in the middle of it.

I have a daily journal that I have kept so it will be pretty easy to backtrack to week one.

First I arrive in Dublin on Nov 1st about 7:15AM. I get a bus to my host families house and go straight to bed because Murial would not have it any other way. After a nap and supper I go back to bed to get ready for school the next day. I am at Greystones Educate Together. At this school there are about 150 to 200 students ages 4 - 9. This age group is different from the 14-18 year old students I had at Davie High. I help with spelling, math, reading and sometimes I get a class for PE. I try hard to get a PE lesson in as much as possible.

I have already had a wonderful and eventful trip. I have visited and toured the city of Dublin and Galway. I have gotten used to the DART rail system being my transportation. I have visited Temple Bar, The Cliffs of Moher, Dunguire Castle, Poulnabrone Dolmen a 5000 year old burial tomb and The Aillwee Cave. I have heard traditional Irish music and seen many soccer and rugby games on TV. I have had many different types on food and they are all good except the McDonalds over here; it is terrible and the ketchup is not the same. Overall week one was one of the best weeks of my life and there is no way I will ever forget it.
