Today, Thursday July 26, 2012 was
our first full day in Dublin Ireland. In the morning we had yet another day of
class as we finished up our poetry unit. Later, when class was over and our
assignments had been handed in, we made our first journey into the city of
Ireland.
The first destination was the
famous Guinness Brewery. We boarded a double-decker bus and began the journey
towards downtown Dublin. Once we arrived at the Brewery, our loving, “mamma
Sue” took pictures of the whole group, with many of the group member’s cameras.
Little to say, she did an exquisite job, despite the technological challenge
with the most simplistic green camera. All the photos looked great and everyone
was happy with them.
Once inside the brewery itself we
were aloud to explore in smaller groups. Many of us saw the amazing view from
the top of the factory, which stretched over the entire city. Some people also
stopped for lunch within the brewery and got their own special treats. Not to
worry parents, the students had specific tickets explaining how we are too
young to be having any of the famous drafts.
There was lots of historic things
to see, as there was floor dedicated to the development and brewing process of
the famous Guinness beer.
Many people may not realize, but the
Guinness brand is also connected to the Guinness Book of World Records. Believe
it or not, too girls on the Georgia Hardy trip, namely Lara DeBeer and Brynne
Duffy, were apart of the world’s largest dance of the Macarena. The school,
Ancaster High made history when 1861 people danced on the back football field,
to promote awareness for world diabetes day.
After we finished in the Guinness
Brewery, we walked around the city of Dublin and Suzan showed us some of the
highlights of the famous city.
Tonight, most of us are working on
our various assignments, as the trip is nearing its end. Despite the fact that
many of us miss the people at home, this England and Ireland trip has been one
of a lifetime and one that many of us will never forget.
