Hey guys, how's it goin? Okay so I have a bunch of cool news to tell ya about. Wednesday morning I got up early with a bunch of the other kids in the program to go into town to watch this movie called "In the Name of the Father." Being over here in Ireland, has made me more aware of the history, culture, and the lifestyle. One of the most surprisingly of these is the history. I'm still a little confused on it all, but some of the things I've learned are so interesting. Despite the earlier Famine, and the War with the IRA and the Nationalists, later in history, there was a time of much turmoil between, obviously, Britain and Ireland. There were many bombings that took place and one was at the Guilford Pub in London. The film I watched was about the wrongfully accused "Guilford Four." Several other innocent people were accused and sentenced for many years before anyone took notice or chose to help them out, there was also the Birmingham Six and the Maguire Seven to name a few. This film was absolutely incredible. Dad if you haven't seen it, you MUST, must go get it as soon as possible. So many of you would just love it. Since we're on the subject of movies, Wednesday night a group of about 15 of us went to saw Harry Potter at midnight on Thursday, of course still one of my favorites! Take David as soon as you can!
Now to probably the most exciting news, at least for me, was the third movie I watched. We had to go for the Gaelic class, because it was all in Gaelic and it was part of the famous Arts Festival Galway has every summer. It was a movie called "Poitin" where for some of you who don't know it, was the illegal making of a very strong type of vodka, that was a big issue in Ireland a long time ago. It was a short, kind of indie type film, a little odd, but good. The producer's name was Bob Quinn, yes that's right Aidyn Quinn's brother!!! Mr. Aidyn was literally right next to me!! It was great. Being the silly starstruck American that I was, me and one of the other girls who was just as excited were smilin and being silly trying to go and ask him for a picture. He was laughin at us a bit. Even though we did not end up doing that, it was still definitely the highlight of my week, next to the "In the Name of the Father" film that each and everyone of you NEED to see. I just woke up a little bit ago...I have some errands and jogging to do, but I had a dream about all of you! Yes all of you, the whole fam was at the weird castle type place for a family party, haha, it was funny, woke up thinking of all of you and missin ya. Sarah, you were so cute in it, but I didn't see the big belly, which is making me sad cause everyone is tellin me how big your belly has gotten, i've decided that I need to see pictures, lol, so send some when ya can.
Have a great weekend everyone, say some prayer for me...I have a huge novel I have to finish by Sunday mornin...oh dear:)
Miss you Love you!
