Ireland - Friday Evening Report

Dia dhuit! Conas tann tu?
(That means hello and "how are you" in Irish!)

We had a fun Irish language lesson today, learning some key phrases as well as the history of the language. It is most widely used in western Ireland, particularly here on the Dingle Peninsula. All of the signs are written in both English and Irish.

Horseback riding was also a success! We learned how to walk and trot correctly, as well as how to (try to)keep our horses from eating the trees that lined the trail we rode on. This evening, we spent time cooking chili together, and Ms. Keever and I are anxiously awaiting the three desserts we will get to try as part of the Iron Chef-Ireland competition. The secret ingredient... Nutella!

Tomorrow we will explore Dingle Bay by kayak, sailboat, and motorboat, and we hope to catch a glimpse of Fungi, the Bay's famous dolphin. We will be entertained in the evening by a storyteller, and then will head out to a pub to find some traditional Irish music.

Slan!
