Another group went to Glendalough in County Wicklow, one of the most beautiful places in Ireland, famous for it's valley, lake and wooded scenery. There is a 6th Century monastic settlement there, one of Ireland's most special treasures.

A Trip to Kilkenny

The Saturday excursion this week was a trip to historic Kilkenny. The boy enjoyed themselves. Kilkenny Castle was built in the 12th Century!

Irish Sports Day

Some of the boys learned Irish sports yesterday. Ireland has two national sports that are very popular here but less well known around the world. One is Hurling which is a fast and exciting game played with a stick and hard ball like a baseball. The other is Gaelic Football which is like a mixture of soccer, rugby, basketball...! Both of them are very big sports in Ireland.
