Dublin 2014 First Weekend

Dublin Spring Seminar 2014

The  Opening Weekend

After arriving at Dublin Airport on Friday, each student went home to
spend the weekend with his family. Depending on where the
families lived, the students did a variety of activities and trips.
One student went as far as the cliffs of Moore, another helped to
de-horn calves on a dairy farm, and almost everyone played some kind of
football (soccer). Several students went on hiking trips to places
like Brae and Hope Mountain. 

All students attended the Leinster - Treviso rugby match, a huge win for Leinster.
Leinster represents the eastern region of Ireland and Treviso is from Italy.
Some students went to the reenactment and 1000 year anniversary of
the Battle of Clontarf in St. Anne's Park. Regardless of where they
stayed, every student went to Dublin, walked around and went to shops. Some
of the teachers visited with the BC High choir for lunch the day they arrived.

The arrangements for Easter also varied depending on host family. Some
families got together and had dinner with other families, while others
stayed at their own house. We will all come together finally on Tuesday when we head off to
Kerry.
