Saturday, July 25
All week long Margaret, our Irish history & culture teacher, had been telling us about this great music festival in Castlewellan, a town about an hour away. It sounded like a lot of fun so most of us decided to go and we even chartered a bus to get to the town (which was about an hour away). When we got there we realized we were way too early. The music and dancing were going to be really big on Sunday, but we only had Saturday free. We still explored the town and discovered a great park with a castle and lake in it, and a field where a couple of people were training dogs to herd sheep. Towards the end of the day we did hear some awesome live music in town, and it ended up being a really worthwhile trip!!

This is as close to the castle as we were allowed to get

It was such a nice day that Robin and I agreed we'd have gone all the way in if we had brought our swimsuits with us! The lake felt so good and the air in the whole town just felt clean and fresh!

The sheep and their herder in the field, so cute! Those little dogs ran their hearts out!
