Festivals and Rubber Chickens

 

  On Thursday we went to listen to some authentic Irish live music with our lovely classmates from Italy. Some even had the courage to dance. One of our friends went to ask for a particular song; Galway Girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lcnvd8BNFE

 

Emma had some problems with calling back home. We realized that there was no camera on our computer so skyping wasn't an option either.. Thankfully there is always facebook.

Yesterday our new local friend asked us to go see the city festival with him. There was little viking boats sailing and some dramatic smoke. Also a small parade walking through streets. They were carrying a yellow crate torwards the church. They didn't tell what was inside the box, I guess we have to go and see today if they're going to open it.

 

 

When the crate was lifted infront of the church, the men dressed as monks were standing in front of it. One of them was holding a rubber chicken with a really serious face. Maybe that's part of the culture?

In the evening we went to buy some food and the friend of ours suggested a great pizza place. And he was right, the pizza was amazing! The evening ended with a bit of Dr. Who (surprise..) and we went to sleep relatively early.
