December 27th,
Mom drove quite successfully to Aunt Karen's house. We didn't hit anything or die. Alond the two hour way, we saw sheep with green and orange butts. Apparently farmers paint the sheep's butts to keep track of whose sheep is whose. Horses and cows were also on the way. I'm quite surprised at this transition from city in London to the peaceful grass, hills, rocks, and bay that is Ireland.
Everyone seems happier here and less chaotic. Zoe blames part of the London stress on the red tour buses. The tour buses in Dublin are green.
I feel really stupid for thinking this, but I thought Irish was an accent. It's odd to see English as the second language below Irish on signs, rather than first on signs.
Once we got to Karen's, we settled and had a fun and eventful night of playing pingpong, eating chick chicks (as Miriam called them- they're nuggets though) and pepperoni pizza with Amy.
We met Amy Malonie(oldest, and had her hair in a bun), Amy Sweanie(athletic and wore an Einstein shirt), Sarah, Rachel, Jemma (funny and likes strawberry cheesecake brownie stuff), and Effa. Effa is the closest to my age and she likes to cook. I'm sure I butchered the spelling of all their names, and maybe forgot a few names.
We played Pictionary and Sorry with Amy and Miriam before the other village girls got here.
For dinner we had green beans, beef, and mac and cheese.
Aunt Karen's cooking is the bomb!!
Alright, my mom is getting nosy about what I'm writing, goodbye for now.
