As part of our program, we stayed with a family in Gorey, County Wexford for four days. These are pictures of all the stuff we did while we were there!
The beach in Courtown, right down the road from Gorey. This is the east coast of Ireland, facing England.
More beach.
We went to a seal sanctuary, where they nurse rescued seals back to health.
They were adorable!
We went for a walk through a random forest.
It was quite pretty.
We went to an Irish Heritage Park. They had recreations of what life was like for Irish people back in the day.
Have I mentioned that Ireland is freaking gorgeous? Because it is.
Yet another castle. We could walk up the steps to the base of this one!
A panoramic view from the outcropping where the castle was.
I was getting my vitamin D for the week. Don't be fooled: mere hours before this there was a torrential downpour of rain.
We went to a local soccer match. I have never heard so much swearing in my life. They all would have been thrown out of the game in the US.
And now, especially for Kelsey Warren, two frog pictures:
The first is a hood on a jacket, and the second is a trashcan. I approve.
Beach, seal sanctuary, random forest, soccer, AND random frog appearances?!?!
