Day 4 of the Boston student’s visit to Ireland got off to a great start. The weather was fabulous and everyone was in great form.
We took off from SCS to Lough Hyne. The students were offered two choices. They could climb the hill with Ryan and Órla or take the alternative route along the lake thanks to Jenn and Kellie. The views were spectacular.
It was off to Baltimore next. This proved to be very popular with everyone with Iced caramel lattes, chocolate chip flapjacks, Mars bars, lots of “candy”, yellow snacks and ice creams purchased. We all boarded our boat thanks to Martin and Kieran Driscoll.
In Sherkin we walked to Cow Strand where students were flying a kite, partaking in sand castle competitions and of course some GAA thanks to Eoin Coppinger and Danny O’Sullivan for sourcing a ball. A fabulous day was had. The sun kept shining and the group have bonded so well. It is nice to know that the GAA have recruited a few extra fans after the day and there is more to come.
Currently there is serious American interest in the traditional “Irish Snack Box”. Penneys got several mentions and questions were being asked about our finger saluting to each other in cars! Penneys and some of our local chippers will be visited in the coming days.
Thanks to Mr. Conor Uhl for organising, Mr. Ryan Beattie, Ms. Jenn Wade Baker, Ms. Kellie Bell and Ms. Orla O’Sullivan for accompanying and to Mr. Damien O’Driscoll our bus driver for his professionalism.
