In the afternoon we went to experience first hand about ancient burials and tombs (topics from the class) as we traveled to Carrowmore, a megalithic burial ground. Some of the tombs date back to 500 years before the pyramids.
After dinner, we pulled on the wet suits and learned how to surf! Even though when we got off of the bus it was pouring rain, those planning to learn participated in the lesson on the beach and got into the water. Luckily the weather soon cleared up after hitting the water and we had some very successful first time surfers. Everyone agreed that this was an exciting way to celebrate the Fourth of July.

To continue the 4th of July celebration, we used a portable grill and celebrated with hot dogs and sparklers!
