 It was a school day, but instead, my host family and I went to the national ploughing championships, a yearly event for farmers and some other people to sell and promote their products. It was really windy and rainy, so we had to wear wellies, cause the ground had so much mud. 



The event was so full of people, and there were hundreds of stalls, which were mostly of associations or food. In some of them, there were little free things, like pens or tastes of the food. For example, there was a lupa, that had some free meat, and chips that were too hot, and a slice of pizza I didn't manage to get. We stayed there for hours, until we got in the car and went back home.

  With Laura, he mom and her sister, I went to the bunratty castle. There was the castle, and a little village to see, with some animals, like goats, horses, and chicken.  The old houses were open to visit, mainly fisherman's ones with way too much incense smell, but some houses were more decorated, because they were property of richer people. There was someone representing how did a blacksmith used to do his job in one of the houses. And there were old stores, and a school, where an old man was explaining how the school worked, and talking about how he used to go there. I also saw a little church, but just from the outside. We saw the castle, and it was like you'd expect a castle to be, huge and with a lot of stairs.

 Today we had an excursion to limerick. We got out of school at 9 and a half, and we headed to limerick in a bus. We went to the milk market, but I really didn't see milk anywhere. I bought a sausage roll, but it was kinda spicy. I also got little chocolates that had a frog shape.  We walked around the city for a while, but not seeing anything in specific. We also went to the shopping centre, and I wanted to buy a book, but I had wasted my money already. We went to kilmallock, and I saw a castle, and it looked cool. We saw a hurling match, it was like 2 hours long, and it was genuinely so boring I almost fell asleep at some point.

 At first, I almost didn't find geography class, because the timetable said it was a different room from which one it actually was. But in that class and the next, the Spanish students were just playing cards, because we had nothing else to do. We didn't do much the rest of the morning, and when school ended, I had to wait for Laura while she had basketball. It wasn't much more than an hour, but it was boring, and I had to find a covered place because, to surprise of anyone, it started to rain a lot. I didn't do much the rest of the evening
