Day 6: Tree, Catolic, Potato

So today was the first day of classes which was pretty uneventful. We were only there for about an hour then I spent the rest of the day at the beach in Bray. It was so beautiful down there! The water was so blue and there were green rolling hills surrounding us. There has not been a drop of rain since I got here..... and now tomorrow it will start pouring!

Anyway so to explain my title for today the 4 of us went into this tiny shop on a back road in Bray and each got a shirt with something written in Gaelic! Mine has the lyrics to "Jump Around" which the shop keeper played for me -- Léim Thart! Anyway so we were discussing the lack of pronounciation of the "heches" in the Irish accent.. like "three" is "tree" and "Catholic" is "Catolic" and then as he is thinking about it saying the words out loud he goes "Tree, Catolic, Potato." We just look at him and are all like there is no "H" in potato! You probably had to be there but it was hilarious!

After we got back from Bray, I worked on my homework and did my laundry. Big oops was that I accidentally washed my bus pass so we'll have to see tomorrow if it still works since you have to scan the bar code.

I'll let you know how that goes.
