BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES (2016-2017)

Between two countries

 By Néstor Hernández and Pablo Rodríguez

We started the morning with an irish breakfast: eggs, sausages, toasted bread with butter, white and black puttings, bacon, beans, potato bread, orange juice and hot chocolate with mini-marsmallows. It was delicious!!! During this fantastic breakfast our family explained us what we were going to do today. And also, like always, they asked for Las Palmas weather and, like always, they were like: "Amazing! Impossible "Because there were 20 degrees. And also they asked for Sardinia's weather, from where is the Italian boy, Michele (<Mikele>), who lives with us. After that we went to our bedrooms to prepare ourselfs to the trip. They told us that we should get warm clothes because we were going to go to the mountains.
   At 11:30 we went out, we spended 1:30 hours in the car until we arrived to the first stop: the beggining of the river Shannon, the longest river in Ireland. There was an explanation of how a little lake of water turns into that incredible river. Then we went to the top of a mountain that wasn't to far away from where we were. In the mountain we saw phaleolitics ruins and also there was a viewpoint where you can see three counties: Cavan, Leitrim and Longford.
The best part of the day was at 3:00pm, when we went to the borderline between Northen Ireland (In the United Kingdom) and Ireland. Then, Thomas (our Irish "father") bought us ice creams, and later we went to a cementery to see a monastery and also there were views of a amazing lake. A while after we went to Ballyconnel, because the river that pass through it is the Shannon river and we wanted to see it again. It is really an amazing river. Then we visited a canal like the Panama's canal but, obiously, smaller and in the Shannon river.
   Finally we return to our house at 5:30, we were very tired, so we spend about an hourresting in our beds. At 6:30 we had dinner, we ate pork, potatoes and vegetables. And at 7:00 Pablo went to mass, and Michele and me stay in the house playing some games. When Pablo arrived we saw The Big Bang Theory and now we are going to wacht a film or just keep talking with Michele, Elizabeth (our Irish "mother") and Thomas.
