  On the 19th we went to class, and since the first three hours there was hiking, we went to the mountain. On the mountain we went up a slope for several meters, the first slope was something special, because it was literally climbing through water that fell from the top, when we reached the top of where the water fell, we divided into 2 groups without realizing it, those of us who arrived First we had to continue straight to reach the top and those who arrived later took an easier right-hand path. I went to the top, like most of my companions who went to walk, when I reached the last meters there was an incredible wind, it was the strongest I have ever seen in my life, many of my companions fell silent going up and down. By the wind. On the path to the top there was a wooden board to walk on and very pretty yellow flowers underneath. At the top, we took cover behind a giant rock and had lunch, then we went down and continued the day as normal. In the afternoon, Victor, I and some ...

  The 18th was a fantastic day, we took an excursion that lasted all morning and part of the afternoon. The excursion was to a coastal area 2 hours by bus north of Kilfinane. There some tutors taught us how to surf and later we practiced it in the sea with large surfboards. When we finished we took off our wetsuits, took a shower and ate because it was noon. Finally, in the afternoon, they took us by bus to a viewpoint near the area to see some giant cliffs and the sea waves crashing against them.  When we returned to Kilfinane they dropped us off at school, and I and some of them stayed watching some little kids training hurling on the field while we talked.

  This day was like others, school at the morning and meet at afternoon, something i didn’t like of this day was Spanish class, since I was here, I had 3 Spanish classes and in all, the Spanish teachers didn’t talk Spanish in all class and we do things which were not very relacionated with our language.  In the first class we went to the street for do some questions that were in a paper (were in English) and then we went to the shop, in second class we answered 15 questions in English about “spanish” things, and only some were about Spain, because other were things like from were is Shakira, or for say a thing imported from Sudamérica. And In our class of today we had all the class for did a Sudamerican map.  For me Spanish class need to talk in spanish, like french or English classes in Spain.

 In our school, they decided to did a excursion to a Aquapark in the morning, we went there with all the students of transition year, there were a lot of activities like ziplines, roads or things to jump in the water. But the best was the little Aquapark, the water was very cold but the activities were very funny, that day I made friendships with some Spanish from Murcia and Mallorca. At the afternoon we stayed in the pitch, but we were less than other days, because a lot of us went home. At night i saw the rugby world cup and dinner outside.

 The 6th of September was the day which I start my journey to Ireland from Spain, we went to the airport of Bilbao at 17:00 and we arrived Dublin at 18:30, there we took a bus and go to Kilfinane, our host village. We arrived Kilfinane at 22:30, but we got dinner at 20:30 in a little departament store, I ordered a menú which contains a hamburguer, some chips and a Fanta. I really liked the hamburguer but i didnt like the chips because there was rare, Later I asked the teacher for that and she told me that if I don’t liked it I have to ask the assistant for Sault, that surprised me, because in Spain it isn’t like that. I’m Kilfinane I went to my host house and going to sleep very soon because I was tired.
