4th of July Ireland – Thursday July 4, 2013


          We had two classes in the morning and then went to The Front Door for lunch. Kelsey and I got the smoked salmon and caper sandwich. In Ireland smoked salmon is raw, so Kelsey didn’t enjoy it, but I thought it was delicious; I wish it were on a bagel instead of a sandwich. They had a great burger selection and Alex enjoyed hers! We went back to class, but before our second interdisciplinary seminar I was able to Skype my family. My grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousin, and family were all at my mountain house for the fourth. I was jealous that they all got to see each other, but I felt blessed to have the Internet to connect us. 
     We had an interdisciplinary seminar on our future field trip to Dingle, Ireland and then had a summer school Fourth of July BBQ at the college bar (aka more drink vouchers). We didn’t have BBQ at the BBQ, but the food was delicious and we love the college bar! We went out for gelato afterwards and I got the delicious blend of caramel and fancy chocolate. Later that night, we visited The Kings Head to dance and listen to some good ‘ole American music on the best Independence Day!
