Sunday March 3rd

Today we finally woke up to sunshine! We walked up to the Rock of Cashel from our cozy b&b and snapped pictures of the fort. We were supposed to get a tour but instead watched a video on the history behind the rock. Afterwards we said fare wellto our lovely hosts Pateick and Anna, and traveled to a care home in Ardee. We toured their amazing dementia unit and then listened to Irish country music with them! Once again we travelled the motorways and bumpy roads across the border to Northern Ireland, we never saw so many sheep in our life! We checked into the adorable Oakfield b&b in the northern countryside. Our hosts welcomed is with a giant spread for dinner and even had a birthday cake for Marissa!!! We ended our night with a talent show and learned and laughed a lot. Tomorrow we're off to The University of Ulster in Belfast!
