So for our last day in Ireland we took a short trip to Adare, a small town in Ireland. We had four hours to ourself in the town to shop and eat lunch. That was more than enough time to see everything. There was a small park, cottages that were small shops, and several pubs. We walked around some of the stores, saw the old creamery, and ate in a pub.
When we came back to Courtbrack, we should have been packing but most of us walked to Penney’s instead for some last minute shopping. I bought some more scarves, leggings with fur inside, and a new dress to wear that night. We were going to a farewell party with all the teachers of the schools we were visiting. The party was at the Unicorn. They had a full four course meal planned. We each picked a starter, an entree, tea or coffee, and a dessert. I had the Galway Bay chowder, the salmon, tea, and pavlova. Everything was so delicious. We were there until about 1000 and then we gave out our paper plate awards. I had Addie and I gave her “The One and Only Addie” Award because the whole trip Dr. O kept calling Ellie, Addie, by mistake. I got the “Cute as a Button” Award from Susie. (: I thought the paper plate awards was a good idea. I was also given the Trio Award along with Katie and Whitney because we were always together. After this I was up until 230 packing and trying to make my bag under the correct weight. I had to be up by 500 am so I slept with my door open to make sure I would wake up. I was all ready to go in the morning and we left right on schedule.
