This slideshow is a selection of photos from our city tour on Monday and the visit to the Dublinia museum and Christchurch on Tuesday. You will see many pictures of us huddled together around the famous Molly Malone statue, statue of Daniel O'Connel, at Trinity College, Merrion Square with the Oscar Wilde statue, Christchurch, and crossing Half-a-Penny Bridge (antes habia que pagar medio penique por cruzarlo, ya que apenas habia puentes en la ciudad).

As you know, this the park where we usually have our lunch (if it doesn´t rain...). It is beautiful and relaxing, just what we need for these first days. They continue really excited. Their families and houses are really good and all of them tell us that they are delighted with the country and the people. Some even say that they don´t miss you at all... let´s see at the end of the week. Here we are! We had an exciting trip into the city this morning with all of the students glued to the windows of the bus and train. The students are busy in their classes learning English and we are looking forward to a city tour this afternoon. We have been fortunate to have the same guide as in previous years...Peter. It is overcast at the moment, but we are hoping for some sun this afternoon. This is our lunch time near the school in Saint Stephen´s Green , try to look for your child... There are some more pictures arriving in the next post, so have a look at them Here we are, at last in Dublin. Everything was OK, the flight on time and the students as energetic as we can expect from twelve year old children.
They are really excited about everything, suprised and curious. We think that they are going to enjoy it a lot. In a few hours we will be uploading more information and some pictures of the journey. In "general information", you have all this information in Spanish and we´ll also send you a quick email to let you know of our arrival.  DALKEY CASTLE

MOLLY MALONE Molly Malone" (also known as "Cockles and Mussels" or "In Dublin's Fair City") is a popular song, set in Dublin, Ireland, which has become the unofficial anthem of Dublin City. The song tells the fictional tale of a beautiful fishmonger who plied her trade on the streets of Dublin, but who died young, of a fever. In the late 20th century a legend grew up that there was a historical Molly, who lived in the 17th century. |
