Cristopher uses his new soccer ball.
Our fist stop was Coole Park. This is where Yates wrote many poems during the summer months at the home of his benefactor. The scone on the left is one of the reasons that I will return with the scale reading the same weight as when I left even though I have been walking 11 miles a day. The tree that is in jail on the right has Yates and 14 other famous individuals initial's carved into the trunk.
Stop 2: A very famous Monastery (I will look up the name later and insert). I am leaning against the tower pictured above because I need something to hold me up.
The tomb pictured above is housed in the monastery pictured below. Stop 3 on our very long journey. It was at this point in the trip that we started to think that the old buildings were all starting to look the same. The structure below was constructed after the monks came to town.
Stop 4: The beach. We walked 4 miles along the beach, stopped for ice cream and continued on to the bus.
Flaggy shore is pictured above and the sweetest calves ever are pictured below.
Stop 5: Dinner at a restaurant with the largest thatched roof in Ireland. We ate inside but this horse and dog were not allowed to eat inside (life is so unfair). This is one of the many conemara ponies that we encountered during the day.
We got back to school at 9:00 Pm. It was a 12 hour day as any one of my many aching body parts can confirm.
