Another amazing day in Ireland! We started off with an
informative and interesting trip to St. Brigid’s Garden. There we learned about
the different festivals of the Celtic calendar by looking at the corresponding
gardens. We weaved St. Brigid’s crosses (which is harder than it looks) and we
put a lot of trust in nature and our partners who lead us blindfolded through
trees.
On our way home we stopped and looked inside St. Nicolas’ Cathedral in the center of Galway. Some people said prayers and made small donations while lighting a candle. We then had free time without the adults (they were still around, of course, but not in the structured small groups) to shop and explore the pedestrian shopping district of Galway. For dinner, we had a special treat with a dinner cruise on Loch Corrib. We had hamburgers and chicken and live entertainment from an Irish step dancer and band (and a few of our talented pilgrims)! Amazing! We are headed to the Aran Islands tomorrow with a 7 am wake-up call. Stay tuned for more fun to come.
