First full day

Report on the first (full) day in Ireland
In the morning we met at the car park in front of the shopping center and the local pub (about which we will talk later…).
In the best mood young people can have after getting up, Martin guided us to the coast, which turned out to be very impressive. We enjoyed the cold fresh air and we went to St. Mary`s secondary school – a building made out from a church and some kind of prison.
(Kathleen tells me: “It was a training center for Christian Brothers”
The headmistress of the Bristow school of English – Kathleen Bristow – welcomed us and gave us some starting information. Then she introduced us to our teacher, Mark, who is a quite a nice guy. The lessons turned out to include much talking (about Ireland, talking about us, talking about everything we want to talk about).
In the afternoon we were taken to jail. Okay, not a modern jail, but Dublin`s most famous “old” prison, Kilmainham-jail. Very interesting, very impressive. We had an idea to make a big party in the east wing, that was the most impressive part of the jail.
In the evening we went to the local pub, mentioned at first, the “Racecourse Inn “. Quite Nice.
Everyone was ordering cider (I was the only one who had now idea about alcohol, so I ordered a Teacher`s, which turned out to be a Scotch)
