Causey Farm

CAUSEY FARM, IRELAND -- Just a rundown of the things we did today at the rural Irish farm an hour outside Dublin...

Played with some adorable puppies to start the morning
Learned traditional Irish line-dancing in three steps, four to a line, and four different parts in formation
Milked a cow for the first time, and then actually drank her milk straight from the udder
Baked Soda Bread, a traditional Irish loaf of bread
Played Hurling, a traditional Irish sport kind of like lacrosse but much more difficult and complicated
Lunch with tea and biscuits - mmmmmmmmmmm real butter
Played an Irish drum
Rode to a bog and got a 'bog facial' - special mud (like the Dead Sea) very good for your skin
Watched traditional Irish dancers and musical talents perform

Overall a phenomenal day! Tomorrow we are off to the west coast of Ireland :)
