I have been here for 3 weeks and it has been the most enjoyable three weeks of my life! I have done so much and seen so much. I went to a Gaelic football match, there was this hill that overlooked the whole pitch and further out their was a beautiful view of just rolling hills of green and just land. The natural beauty here is like nothing you would ever get in Texas. The photo above this text is what it looked like, but that photo doesn't do the view justice it was absolutely beautiful. I had a normal week at school and had my first math test. It was pretty easy and I think I did well, but I guess we'll see. Last Wednesday after school my friend Maks took me to this cafe that had the absolute best vibes. We went in and just talked and talked and it was really fun! I definitely can't wait to go back again this Wednesday. Now getting into the weekend, I had the absolute best time ever and had some interesting experiences. It didn't start off to great because I thought their was a bus at 12:25 but half way there I saw my host mother and she said the bus isn't till 1:15 so I ended up going to my host sisters football match to kill time instead of standing at the bus stop for an hour. The match was pretty interesting and at 1 I made my way to the bus stop. I met Maks n town, I bought a couple of things for school and then we went to his house because we had nothing better to do. We hung out there for a while then he had to go to this church event with his friend Harry, I had already missed the last bus back to Smithborough so Harry's dad offered to drop me off or I could just go with them to the church event if it was ok with my host family and it was so I went with them and it ended up being super fun. We played a bunch of different games like golf, this weird ball thing, soccer and uno. We had pizza and did a short devotion. We went back to Harrys house and I got to meet his entire family. They were so nice and his siblings are really fun. He also had a dog and multiple cats and they were so cute. When we were driving to drop me off his dad told me I was welcome to come to church with them the next morning. They always pick up Maks and take him and they could pick me up as well and so I said I'd love to come. So fast forward a pretty good nights rest I went to church with Maks, Harry and his family. It was really enjoyable the music was great and I loved what the pastor had to say. After church Harry dropped me and Maks off at Maks's and we went to see jungle cruise. I didn't quite enjoy it and the experience over all wasn't that great. There was a family next to us that was so loud it was almost funny. After the movie me and Maks went back to Harry's house for dinner. He lives on a farm and so they took me to finally pet a cow which I have been wanting to do since I got here, I pet a sheep which was so fun, I explored an abandoned house that was definitely haunted, picked and ate apples strait off the tree and walked on a silo pit full of these plastic wrapped grass rolls (definitely an experience). We had chicken, quish, bread, salad, and cheese for dinner and it was so good. Omg so freaking good!! After dinner me, Maks, Harry and his sister played an old video game, we watched a quarter of frozen and sang along and me and Maks attacked Harry. It was an absolutely amazing weekend. I am going to Dublin with some friends this Saturday and I am so excited. I will definite have some pictures to share next weekend!! So I will update then!!
