Day 2 - Ring of Kerry - Ireland

8 am breakfast: toast, cereal and fruit. We went to Bog Village. The houses were so small it was as if leprechauns could live in them. We then continued our journey and stopped in Waterville for lunch. On these long bus rides we read, talked, laughed, slept, took pictures, and the rest listened to their iPods. Our last stop was in the area of Killarney where some girls got some ice cream while others shopped for souvenirs and postcards. The views from the bus and other stops along the way were unbelievable. It’s amazing how green it is and cameras do not do it justice. We passed along the western coast and it seems that there are green mountains everywhere we turn. We were home by six in time for dinner and then after Mr. Wilson led brave girls and some other chaperones on a 12k walk. That’s 8 miles!!!! It was to see a castle and although many still have blisters from the hike, we can now say that we walked 8 miles to see a castle in Ireland in the rain; how many people can say that? – Chrissy Romero ‘09
