Irish Dancing and "Craic"

Last night I met up with Staci, a girl from North Carolina who is also doing an internship in Cork. We went to the lake where they were playing live Irish music and teaching tourists different Irish dances. Staci and I joined in on a few and it was a lot of fun. I must admit that I looked pretty foolish standing next to the 7 year old girls who knew all the right steps but I had a blast! The older gentleman who was instructing that dances was absolutely precious but he was admit that you stay behind the yellow line! Haha I had a great time. Today I worked more on the Frank O'Connor cards; they are really coming along. I can't believe that I only have about a week and a half left in Cork! It is going to be a bittersweet goodbye. I really love it here. It is such a wonderful place to live and the people are wonderful as well. I can't wait to spend next week traveling and sightseeing. I've got a full itinerary planned: Blarney Castles, Dublin, and a tour of the Cliffs of Moher! I'm so excited and I should have some great pictures to put up.

Until next time...

P.S. "Craic" is an Irish term that can be used interchangeably to mean different things but it is sometimes used to mean fun! It has quickly become one of my favorite Irish terms :)
