Arrival and first feelings of IRELAND 馃嚠馃嚜☘️馃寛

On September 12th, 2025, eleven spanish Erasmus students arrived in Cork´s airport for starting a unique experience: our great trip to Ireland. The first thing we saw in the airport was our Irish mates with welcome banners! After that, we met our respective hosts, and we set off towards their school. We played and got to know during  the way there, and my Irish partner, Ruair铆, explained me loads of things of Ireland. When the bus arrived in Scoil P贸l (this was the name of the school), Ruair铆's parents picked us up, and drove us to their house, were we rested after that long day. (I had to take two buses and a plane from my city, Logro帽o.)

My first feelings were that we were all going to be very comfortable in the different houses of our Irish families, because all ther students were very kind with us from the firts moment. I also had the feeling that we all have itegrated ourselves very well. And, by the way, that´s how it has been. During the rest of the weekend, we did a couple of trips to see different point and sights of the county of Limerick that we couldn´t miss. We visited villages where we could enjoy of beautiful curches, attended to Irish sports matches (like, for example, hurling), arts museums (and also history museums)... We also did another trip on Monday, visiting a beutiful htel that used ecological and sustainable methods for its maintenance (there we could also see a little farm with lots of animals, a pretty town near of it (where we also enjoyed of its big market, called the "Milkmarket", and one of its churches) and, finally a huge ruined monastery. (Oh, and, in my case, I´ve met some Ruair铆's family members and friends, and have the experience of going to a big resitance trail race in the woods near his house, in which her mother was actually competing. She did so well in it!

So then, after this great welcome, we still have got many new upcoming experinces that I´ll let you know. Until then, thanks for reading and, see you soon!

Now it’s school time 馃彨

 During our first week in Ireland we had done loads of  cool activities and tried many sports. But after all that fun, it was time to go to school and try to learn new things in the language that we had been learning for so long (almost 14 years 馃槄): English.  So we started our first complete school day on thursday. I had 5 classes that day, instead of 6, ´cause on thursdays and fridays we finish school earlier. So, the 5 subjects that I had were Musical, Spanish, P.E.,  Irish, and Social, Personal and Health Education. My favourite one was Irish, because there I learnt a lot of useful sentences in that language that we after recorded as a convertation with Ruair铆. That day wasn´t to busy, we came back home after school, and we just chilled. On friday, we also had just 5 subjects (which were Musical, Geography, Religious Education, English and Home Economics), but we actually missed lat classe ´cause we helped preparing the Scoil P贸il's Awards Night. A good fact that...

 After our quick adaptation during the first three days in Irland, we started to create a very busy and fun routine. The day after out trip on Monday, the Erasmus students we all met for going to the National Ploughing Championships of Ireland, that was being celebrated during a few days of that week.  In my case, I took the train with Ruair铆, and after that, we also took a bus until we arrived to the huge enclosure where this big event had been placed. There, we joined the rest of the Erasmus group, and we enjoyed the more than 500 stands of agricultural machinery, sport clothes, food, and all type of innovating and traditional products that we could purchase. (The Spanish students we were all very amazed by a masive Tiktok stand where we took some pictures). In the championships, there also was a big funfair, where I could rode one of the ride whit Ruair铆. It was very fun, and we laughed a lot too! Finally, we enjoyed the animals that could be seen there, such as cows or she...
