Irish food


Irish food was a new experience for all of us.Ewe expected a worse thing but meals were not bad.

The meal times were very different from Spain:
Breakfasted was very early. We had milk, cereals, toasts, fruit and orange juice at around 8.00am.

Lunch was limited: two sandwiches, a chocolate bar, some fruit, crisps and a bottle juice. We had it at 1.00pm.

Dinner was the closest thing to Spain but it was early because we had it around 7 pm: pizza, chips, burgers, pasta, curry, eggs and bacon.

There are other food typical
not tested as Irish stew and tee

THE TRIP

We met on Friday 6th at 7 o'clock at our high school. We took the bus to Malaga airport. The trip lasted for three hours. First, we checked-in our luggage to get our boarding pass. After, we went through the security point to catch the plane to Dublin. When we arrive we took a bus to Galway. We made two excursions: at Aran Island and Cliff of MOHER.

A week later, we took the bus on Friday 13th at 2 o'clock to go to Dublin. The trip lasted for three hours. On Sunday 15th at 3 o'clock we took a bus to Dublin airport. At 6 o'clock we took the plane to Malaga airport. The trip lasted for three hours. Finally, we took the bus to Caniles, where we met our families!!

It was a great trip!!!!

Hotel and Dublin!!! :P

The Hotel

The name of hotel was Abbey Court. The hotel was small, but it was very beautiful. Our stay was very positive. We slept in room of 6 people. We were very happy because in the hotel there was internet. We had fun!! :)
We arrived in the hotel on Friday evening and we left it on Sunday afternoon.

Dublin
The Dublin is the capital of Ireland. It is very beautiful. Dublin has got 506,211 hab. We stay in Dublin was very positive. The city is very very funny!!!

FAMILIES

The first day, when we arrived to Galway our Host Families went to Atlantic Language School to collect us. All families were Irish.
The first day of class, our Host Families took us by car to Atlantic Language School. When we got up, our families had breakfast with us. Also, they gave us lunch to take it to school and at night we had dinner.
Families have been very good to us and we enjoyed with them.
We never forget our Irish families.

First day of school!

El lunes, nuestros niños empezaron con su horario regular de clases por la mañana de 9.30 a 1.00, pero antes de ello les quedaba el reto de llegar a la escuela en autobús. Para muchos de ellos, es la primera vez que tienen que usar un transporte público para desplazarse, así que realmente era un reto. Salvo algún que otro tardoncillo, la mayoría fueron muy puntuales y a las 9.30 ya estaban todos con "Mark", el profe que les enseñará a lo largo de esta semana.
A las 1.00 comimos en el centro y a las 2.00 "Mark" nos hizo un divertido tour por toda la acogedora ciudad de Galway: Eyre Square, Shop street, St. Nicholas Church, the Corrib river, The Spaniard Arch, The Cathedral... Excellent! Tras despedir a nuestro guía con un fuerte aplauso, los chiquillos tuvieron una horilla de Free Time for Shopping, tras lo cual llegaba la hora de volver con las familias para cenar y realizar las tareas acordes con el día :)


¿ALguno se anima a contarnos por qué existe el "Spaniard Arch?

Aran Islands

El pasado sábado 7 de Mayo hicimos nuestra primera excursión: "The Aran Islands". Tres islitas pequeñitas, una de las cuales recorrimos en bicicleta para poder disfrutar de su característico y peculiar paisaje en todo su esplendor, sencillamente maravilloso...
Quedamos a las 9 en la escuela. Las familias llevarían a los chavales a la escuela, desde donde nos dirigiríamos a coger el autobus que nos llevaría al puerto y que  a su vez nos conduciría a las mencionadas islas por medio de un mar verdaderamente enbravecido, un aspecto que pareció no importar a los niños ¿verdad? Especialmente  a la vuelta...
¿Qué fue lo que más od gustó? What did you enjoy the most?

Getting to Ireland!

Por fin llegó el día tan esperado por nuestros queridísimos canileros y canileras. Tras prepararnos con diversas celebraciones irlandesas a lo largo del segundo trimestre (St. Patricks, April's fool, etc), y haber hecho un buen repaso de "travelling vocabulary", el pasado viernes 6 de Mayo nos pusimos en camino... Parece ser que, según nuestros niños, hubo algunos padres que les hicieron llorar al despedirse ¿y no sería más bien que ya sabían que echarían de menos las comidas y mimos paternos? :)

Nuestro vuelo fue retrasado 40 minutos, pero en realidad todo el viaje fue viento en popa. Sin altercados, entretenidos y algo nerviosos por las ganas que teníamos de conocer a las familais que nos acogerían. Una vez en Dublín, el conductor de Atlantic Galway language andaba esperándonos con su cartelito en la mano para que lo reconociéramos fácilmente. Y así fue, nos prensentamos y nos condujo al autobús que nos llevaría a Galway: nuestro destino definitivo.

Una vez en Galway, hubo un par de cambios en las familas que nos acogerían, pero los niños se adaptaron fácil y rápidamente al cambio repentino ¡Nice to meet you! Yeah, everyone was so happy to meet their families :)

Bueno para acabar esta entrada os dejaré algunas fotillos, que espero sean completadas con fotos vuestras subidas por vosotros mismos ¿ok?
