1/2 the way there

we had a nice flight to Chicago and had dinner in the Chicago airport. We got of the ground about fifteen behind schedule but the flight was nice. After the plane ride we got our rental car and went a historic site called Knowth and Newgrange.  When we got to the house (a friends house that were staying at) we got a full tour and got to see the pets including the goat, baby goat (awwww !!!) dog and four cats. We talked until about ten thirty, and it was just starting to get dark. In West Ireland sunset is'nt till about ten o' clock. We woke up at about ten ate breakfast and went back to sleep for an hour, then we got back up had lunch and went out to the horse stables to see there horses. After we went to the stables we went into the near by city called Newcastle. we hung around in Newcastle for a while and then went back to the house and had a cook out outside and stayed up till about one. The next day we got up around nine and milked the goats then we got the dogs and went down to the beach. we walked along the beach and threw jellyfish into the water because they had gotten washed up. then we said goodbye and headed up to Portrush (if you have no idea were i am look on a map of ireland). We stayed in a guest house that night and got a good night sleep. When we woke up the next morning we got breakfast and headed toward the Giants Causeway, the rope bridge, and Dunlance Castle (if you dont know any of these places check them out cause there awesome). We had had a pretty full day so we headed back to the guest house and got to bed. While on the way home my sister (Annik) wanted to go to the beach so we got our swim suits and went to the beach (do not do this it was cooooold). Today we got up and left for Artera which was about a three hour drive. we stopped in London Derry and had a walking tour around the city (which holds the record for longest seige and its walls have never been breeched). Then we drove the rest of the way to Artara, got to our Guest house and now I am typing this blog
We will still be posting until we leave
