Days 2 & 3
We have had some great experiences the last couple of days. I have begun to realize that picking a text was the worst part of this. We read the text, talk about the text, then went out into the real world and found that most of our text did not accurate depict Irish Popular culture and the current political environment. Our true classroom on this trip has been the streets and pubs of Dublin. We attended the protest at |St. Patrick’s for the hunger strikers and learn more than any text could ever tell us. The Afghans were physically removed from the church yesterday by the Garde (The Irish “unarmed” police. Owning a gun in Ireland is totally illegal and if you are caught with a weapon, you go to prison for a lengthy stay).
The photos will help give you an idea of where we have been and what we have been doing. Click here for the tour.
