It was an incredible experience to take in sights that were commonly seen day to day in Ireland. Many things differ from the U.S. such as driving on the left side of the road and different school routines. It was amazing to meet with other kids at Ursuline schools to show how one crest brought many people together. Here we took a photo in the beautiful scenery of the Long room library in Dublin Ireland. This library houses the book of Kells a 9th century gospel that is world renowned. The gospel and churches brought such a perspective to this trip that inspired the true meaning behind the four core values of SHA; reverence, leadership, service, and community. In the beginning of our day, we visited Cabinteely school. A boy and girl school from ages 12-18. We were taught sign language to one of the songs they sang. “Be still and know that I am God.” We performed for the students our parade routine and they loved the Matilda selections we performed. We were able to share the joy of presenting our musical and talents to these amazing students. The highlight of my trip specifically was learning to Irish dance. Caylen and I had amazing partners (Sophie and Macy). It was so fun to do this Irish jig to the limerick song that was similar to what we sang at the parade. We could have danced all day at the school it was such fun. To end our school visit we took a picture with hearts gathering everyone that was there. It was a perfect roundup to a great day well spent. Many of us at SHA were enchanted by Kyla Belle who was a beautiful singer, singing many of our favorites. Dancing and singing with her is a memory many of us will not forget and will hold on to forever. After we ended our splash tour we enjoyed a shopping center close by that had the most beautiful flowers on the streets. It reminded us of a flower cart and we loved seeing everyone’s selections. The Viking splash tours was a awesome way to see the city outside of the bus. It was a beautiful day to see the scenery without rain. Everyone enjoyed this because of the fast-paced riding and experiences. To end the last day of a wonderful trip we had dinner at a pub called Nancy Hands. At the end of dinner everyone’s favorite part was dancing all together and revisiting our Irish dancing skills.
