On thursday we went to a gym to try a a famous sport in Ireland : gaelic football. It is a mix of basket-ball, football and rugby. It plays with a ball you can keep it in your hands but not for too long you must then pass it to someone else. You’re also able to bounce the ball on the ground and kick it. The coach made us do some basic exercices for example we had to follow a toute between to set of cones : run, bounce, follow around and then pass. We had a competition between boys and girls. The winners got to try hurling another irish sport played with a wooden bat named a hurl and a ball. It plays a little like hockey.

Yesterday we went in an Irish pub to dance and drink. Between two beers we drank a Pepsi. We learnt two differents dances.
L’ambiance était vraiment sympa, entre les clappements de mains et le bruit des verres sur les tables. Il y avait un violoniste et un accordéoniste pour mener la danse.
Irish are very festive!
