☘️ Day 3 of Ag in Ireland!
Today we continued exploring the rich history and culture of Dublin. Our group visited the stunning St. Patrick’s Cathedral, one of Ireland’s most recognizable landmarks, and toured EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, where we learned about the journeys, contributions, and influence of Irish emigrants across the globe.
We also visited the historic Papal Cross and spent time in Phoenix Park, one of the largest enclosed public parks in Europe. The beautiful scenery, historic sites, and fascinating stories gave us a deeper appreciation for Ireland’s heritage and traditions.
To wrap up the day, the students participated in an Irish Folklore Evening, where they experienced traditional Irish music, storytelling, and dance. It was a memorable way to experience Ireland’s vibrant culture firsthand! ☘️🌍🎶💃🕺🇮🇪
🇮🇪☘️ Day 2 of Ag in Ireland!
We arrived in Ireland at 8:30 a.m. and hit the ground running with a walking tour of Dublin!
Along the way, we visited the Houses of the Oireachtas, strolled through St Stephen's Green, explored the shops and atmosphere of Grafton Street, and crossed the iconic Ha'penny Bridge.
We are also fortunate to be traveling with our Irish bus driver, Colum, and our English tour guide, Gail. Their knowledge, stories, humor, and friendly banter keep every bus ride entertaining and make the journey between destinations just as enjoyable as the sights themselves!
It was a great way to begin our Irish adventure, taking in the history, culture, and sights of Dublin. More exciting experiences to come—stay tuned! ☘️🌍✈️🚜🐄
