Field Trip!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in forever.  School is getting busier and I've been doing more events with the clubs.  I've still been exploring the different places around Galway.  I walked to Mutton Island which is off the coast of Galway City and connected by a boardwalk.  You can't actually go onto the island, because its a sewage treatment plant, but the views from the boardwalk out there are very pretty.  Two weeks ago I went on a field trip to Co. Roscommon where we saw Roscommon Castle, Roscommon Abbey and Rindown Castle.  I
