Sophie, Robin, and I get our first official pint in a pub... quite the feat for Robin, who hates beer. I had been looking forward to this night for two weeks!!
We spent an afternoon at an Irish bog, eating scones, drinking tea, and listening to live music... the kids made soda bread (not the best ever) and rolled around in the mud (below). We rounded out the day with a country dance after watching Irish dancers. It was a great day in the countryside!!
An Irish bog in all its glory-- bog is still used as a fuel source in the countryside. It smells pretty rank, but is a lot of fun to play around in!
This was one of the coolest things we saw: a Gaelic football field. Gaelic football sounds like one of the craziest sports ever; wish we'd been able to see a match!
The cathedral at St Andrew's. It was torn down at one point due to religious upheaval-- townspeople took the rubble away and used it to repair/build their own homes, so now there are parts of St. Andrew's all over town.
