Amazing Ireland
November 27, 2016
Today I went to Dublin. Dublin is in Ireland and that is where I am. Dublin’s name in irish means black pool. People in Ireland speak Gaelic.
I went to a museum because people in Minnesota say the museum is exiting. I was looking at the bog exhibit. At the museum one of the biggest rule is no touching. I did not find it hard to not touch a bog bodies. Most bog bodies came from the Iron Age. The bodies look like crispy mud. People used to sacrifice others and bury them into the bogs. In the bogs they have also found gold, weapons, and horse traps.
Then I went to look at the viking exhibition. Vikings attacked Ireland in 795 AD. They attacked Ireland to get slaves and valuables. The vikings made lots of wood cravings. Some things they made out of wood were ships and toy ships. They also made houses called huts and pots.The house had straws for the roof and wood sticks around the outside.

Today I will be going to Galway.I will also go to st.nicholas a church in galway.St.nicholas sits right in the middle of the city.It is Extremely old and It was built in 1320. It was thought that Christopher columbus worshipped there in 1477. Today it is still used for religious services and concerts.It is currently the largest medieval parish church in Ireland.When services aren't being held the church Is calm.The church is made mostly out of stone. There are really old stone carvings on the outside of the church .There is many Stained colored glass windows On the inside there are many arches that touch the ceiling.
Now I will go to dunsandle Castle in galway.The castle has been standing in that spot since the medieval times.The castle is mostly made of stone. In the castle there is lots of carvings one is a rose.They used to put people in a wooden head and hand cuff.I personally wouldn't want to be in the cuffs.

On my third day in ireland I chose to go to Killarney. In Killarney I will be going Torc mountain.Torc mountain is 535m tall 1,755 feet tall.When I went on a hike on the mountain it took me 2:30 to get to the top.on the way I saw huge waterfalls and it splashed on me and I laughed. I saw lots of trees like 4 times my height.There is a rocky path up to the top.There is lots of hills and tall grass.It looks like you are standing on ancient stone steps.When you are at the top it feels so windy that you are about to fall over but it just feels like it.
I just finished clambing and feeling a little hungrey.But I am still active so I thought of going fishing.So I will go to provincial park.At the national park they sold lots of fishing suplies and I bought some because I did not now I would go fishing and I rented a conoe.When I got out in the water I met other fishers and they shared there suplise with me and we became friends.Then a couple minutes latter I cought a huge fish and they saw what I cought but they did give me stuff. So I gave them it and said thank you in gaelic which is go raibh maith agat.

Now I am going to Cork. In Cork the common food they eat are butter, milk, buttermilk ,cheese ,oats, wheat, salmon and lots of meat.
I will be by the blarney stone.For over 200 years people have kissed the blarney stone. People kiss it because people think it gives them good luck. In my opinion I think it is gross because millions of people have kissed the stone. Won time ago when people were held by their ankles and lowered head first.
Latter in the day I went to Fota a wildlife.It is the second biggest tourist attraction in irealand. It was established in 1980 and the first animals to live in the park arrived in 1982. Visitors were allowed to come can see the park in 1983. Now over 440,000 visitors come every year.Fota Wildlife Park Is interested Conservation, education, research, and entertainment.The vision of the Fota Wildlife Park is to inspire people to learn and understand about wildlife.
Now I will be heading back to minnesota I miss my family but I will miss Ireland !!! by.
