My parents were here three weeks ago and after that everything was just super busy! Here's the "news" now.
I had the pleasure to welcome my parents Friday to Monday. We went out for lunch with Kathleen and had a great chat!
In the evening was a disco for 1st to 3rd years in town and many of the teachers were around which is why my parents got to know a whole lot of them. Then we had dinner in our (usual) Friday night venue, Frank's and then moved on towards the other (usual) standard pub for the weekend, Mike Murts.
On Saturday we drove around the Skellig Ring! It got voted one of the top ten places to visit in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD! (here's the link: http://www.independent.ie/life/travel/ireland/lonely-planet-names-skellig-ring-one-of-worlds-top-10-travel-regions-35156123.html) It is truly breathtaking! Afterwards we did the Ring of Kerry. We neither stopped in every town nor at every sight on the way but it was really nice! I can definitely recommend it! I really liked Kenmare and Sneem, they are lovely little towns :)
In the evening we had tickets for the "Keltic Steps" and it was an absolutely great show! It was around eight people, who played Irish music, sang and danced a lot! Especially the three different kinds of dancing were impressive. I've never heard or seen feet move that fast!!! We were all just gazing at the 17-year-old young man whose feet were so quick that we could hardly see them.
Back to Murts afterwards for a few pints of Guiness ;)
On Sunday we explored the environment close by. We saw the Ballycarbery Castle ruin, the old stone forts and White Strand. After that we drove over to Valentia Island, where we drove around, got good Irish coffee and walked up Geokaun mountain to see great cliffs and get an amazing 360° look onto Cahersiveen and all around it!
In the evening we got tasty dinner at Frank's again and had a lovely evening!
Monday morning I was allowed to have breakfast with my parents in their B&B. We chatted away and just before they had to make their way to the airport I showed them around school quickly and introduced them to more teachers.
Every day was just amazing and we were more than lucky with the weather!
So, here's a few selected pictures:
