Day 9- King John's Castle and goodbyes

January 3rd,

Today was so perfect.

Zoe and I had crisps with cups of noodles for lunch.

Then Mom, Zoe, and I drove to King John's Castle in Limerick. I was surprised at how well kept it still was. We got to climb up all the towers, and see a lot of history stuff.


Here are some pics from the top of the towers.


We also went in a church where one of the king's was hung from the ceiling by his ankles-after being dug up from his grave….How weird...

When we got back I had a bowl of Aunt Karen's delicious chili. Then we went to the Russell Gallery, where we met up with lots of people. Mary got to see some of Zoe's great art on mom's phone, and Mary sorta convinced Zoe to make more art to sell here in the gallery. Some of the things for sale are ridiculously 500 Euros! We had hot chocolate, and then I went upstairs where I played darts and I saw the cutest most adorable cat I've ever seen. I can't get over this. Her name is Luna. She's 8 months old. She looks like she's Siamese and Persian. She's so cute!!
After hot chocolate at the gallery, and tasting my first wine ever called Porsecco(smelled nice, tasted gross), we went back to Karen's house. We played Don't Panic with the Malonie's, ooh and Zoe pulled out Miriam's tooth that had been wiggling all week!

We said our goodbyes to the village girls, and I honestly can't wait to see them again. It was so fun being with them. Mom is planning a trip to Dubai before Karen and Kevin move from there to live in Ireland all year. Also, Zoe plans to go back to Ireland in summer of 2015. Hopefully I can raise enough money to go too!
