 My first day in Ireland has been very exciting. The trip has been a bit long but I was travelling whit my friends and it has been entertaining. The welcome is what I liked the most because they were all waiting for us. I have met Kate, my Irish sister and also her family, they are all very nice. She has made me a welcome cake and has shown me my room and bathroom. I have arrived very late and we could not talk much because I was tired but they treated me very well. Shortly after arriving I went to sleep

Today we have a fieldtrip, so we got back on another bus and we went to a park whit zip lines, we got on a lake and we climbed. When we got home we had chicken whit roasted potatoes whith a sauce that was very good and then we went to see a hurling match and I liked it a lot, finally we went to a gas station to buy chips and then we went to sleep.

Today was the first day that I have had classes here. To start the day I had toasts with scrambled eggs for breakfast. I go with my friend Marina to class and at first we had religion, we were watching a movie, then we had a musical class in which we were dancing, we continued with the classes and we became friends with a Spaniard who stays here all year round. At the end of classes we went home and had dinner. Later, we went to see Kate's best friend play a game of hurling and I really liked it, when we finished we came home, we had something to eat and we went to bed.

Today in the bus going to school I met a very nice friend of Kate called Dan, we talked until we arrived to school. When classes were over we went home and had dinner. Around 7 we went to the school again and we have watched Jumanji all together. When the film finished we played hide and seek inside the school, it was very funny, we did a lot of tik toks and then we came back home and I was in the living room speaking whith the family and playing games whith Kate´s brothers.

Today it's Saturday so we didn´t have to get up very early. When we woke up we had breakfast and Edel took us to the bus stop where we had met whit the others. We took a bus to Limerick and spent the whole day there. First we went to see the shops, later we looked for a place to eat and we all ate together at Burger King, then we decided to go to the shopping center. Edel came back to pick us up at Kate´s soccer game, the whole family watched it together and we returned home very happy because Kate won. Today was an exhausting day, so as soon as I got home I went to sleep.

Today althought it is Sunday, we got up at 7. Kate had training, she left me her sports clothes and I practiced with her team, they have all been very nice to me. At the end of training we ate a sausage sandwich there. Kate and her team have gone into a pool at 2 degrees because it is good for their muscles. We went home and we were there the rest of day. After dinner we have all been talking in the living room and the father asked me many things about Spain, we have been talking for a long time about bull fights and we were a little late so we went to sleep. It has been a quiet day but I have been able to know my family here better and they have got to know me.

Today I woke up whit a lot of energy because we were going to do surfing. We went to school as always and the bus took us to a beautiful beach. It was very cold but it was worth it because it was a lot of fun. Afterwards, we had a shower, got on the bus and went to see a cliff that also really liked. There it was very windy. We all took photos and got back on the bus because it was already late. We came home and we were talking about what we had done today. It has been a very funny day.

Today we went to school like a normal day and we met a very nice boy who was Spanish and was in my class, his name is Tobias and he is very funny. After school we stayed in town for a while and then we went home. We had pasta whit curry for dinner and it was delicious, Kate took me to meet her donkey and her grandparents were lovely and they asked me a lot of things about Spain. When I got home I played baskeball for a while whith my little brother and we have gone to sleep early because tomorrow we are going to the Ploughing.

Today has been an unforgettable day. We got up early and went to the train station to take a train to the Ploughing. We spent an hour on the train and then we had to wait for a bus to take us. Once there, I put on some farms boots because everything was full of mud. We started going into all the stores, there was free food and we got some free hats at the Aldi too. We ate a hamburger and an ice cream for dessert and another one to snack on, we went on an attraction. Finally, we bought some t-shirts, took the train and came back home. It´s been an exhausting day.

Today is Saturday, I got up around 11. Today Edel made bacon and fried eggs for breakfast, something very unusual for me, but they were very good. I spent a while with Kate and her brothers playing hide and seek around the house and it was a lot of fun, then I went with Kate to the school to see a hurling match. When it was over she stayed whit her friends and I went to Marina and Paul´s house, which is in the same town as the school, we played fortnite and made tik toks, the weather was very bad and it rained a lot, so Kate and her mother came to pick up me.

Today was my last day here, I said goodbye to school. When I returned home I was talking whit Kate´s brothers and then we went to have dinner at her uncles house, they were very nice like her cousins. We had Chinese food for dinner and we came back home. Kate showed me around the farm and for the first

time in my life I milked a cow. We have been talking together and they have given me a very nice necklace. We have taken some photos and I have finished packing my suitcase. I´m going to miss them a lot, both my family here and Ireland in general.
