The past week of school went by awfully fast. It is hard to believe that I will be leaving here a week from tomorrow. After being switched to the junior and senior infant class I was able to get about 20 minutes a day for PE and about 45 minutes on Wednesday. I had to keep the games very simply due to the amount of space I was working in. We played Crows and Cranes one day and spent time working on throwing and catching. On this past Wednesday we went to the nearby park to have PE. I had the kids play Flip Flop, Hospital Tag, and Stuck in the Mud. They seemed to enjoy the days activities.

Yesterday Rachel and I decided to go on a hike around Howth (rhymes with both). Howth is a peninsula located nearby in Dublin Bay. It was a nice little town with many shops and visitors. We went and saw the Howth Castle and then hiked the Cliff Walk. We walked around most of the peninsula but grew tired and headed back into town. It was nice seeing what Howth really looked like instead of what I see everyday on my way to school.
This is my last full week in Ireland. I am looking into what I want to do this final weekend. Right now I am planning on going to the Blarney Castle (apparently the American thing to do), Glendalough, Book of Kells, and the GAA museum/Croke Park.
