The start of week 2 began with recovery from my weekend to Dublin, Galway and the Cliffs of Moher. I was exhausted and worn out from the fun and eventful trip. This week began with school and finally getting some more PE lessons under my belt. I introduced basketball to the students and helped them understand the sport as a whole and not just go outside and play. I introduced new games to them to help with their aerobic fitness and teamwork. I try to work the students out hard enough to get their heart rate up and warm outside because it is cold here in Ireland.
On the home side of this week I began to help the Rumballs with their dinner party they have been planning. I helped blow up balloons, set tables up, set chairs up, light candles and anything else they needed help with. The dinner party included salmon, crawdads, oysters, spicy curry chicken and rice to top it off. There were about 50 guest and the house was full of people the Rumballs knew.
After an eventful night from the party I wake up to some great news that some of the guests left tickets to the rugby game between Ireland and Australia for Sunday. Murial and Alister could not go so they decide to give them to me and Grace as a gift. We accept and helped clean up some more to show appreciation for the gift. After a DART ride to the stadium we watch the game and meet Brett there because he had a ticket he purchased earlier. The score was 20-20 and in rugby there is no overtime so it ended in a tie. I had a wonderful weekend and on Saturday Brett and I booked a flight to Italy for Dec. 3rd, so that was a highlight of my week as well.
