ELIN, Dingle and Guinness

Now, so. These are the pictures from the Girls' Weekend I told ye about last time. And it starts with the Desserts. Yum!

Above: Dessert Anna did.
Below: Milenas cake.

We were eating all the time. Except that all we ate was delicious, I felt sick all the time because it was too much. Haha. But I still ate anyway.
Below: We are going out in Mallow. Well, it was not bad, but. But. But I dont think I want to do it again. It was just business people in their 30s. And no dancefloor. But I had a great time anyway. I had my friends.

As u see. A great weekend.
Now to something else.
ELIN WAS HERE!! She left yesterday. I cant believe she already have been here. It all went so fast. Time flew. Nothing was like I planned, but I realized it is not what you do that matters, it is who you are doing it with. 
So. My plan going to Galway did not work out. So we went to Cork. Not even Dublin as all my other friends. We went to Cork. At Friday she arrived. She texted me saying; Im taking the 11:20 - train, just so u know. I turned around in the kitchen to see what time it was. 10:45. She was almost here!! I could not believe it. I felt like it was yeasterday she told me she wanted to come and visit me, and now, she was almost here. When she was in Mallow I called my taxi. I was confident. He always had time for me. But not today. He was on his to Cork. So I panicked. I searched every taxi driver around here. None. In Mallow. Too expensive. What to do. I texted my host dad. No answer... So what could I do then to tell Elin to wait. At least till my host dad was home. At 3pm my host dad called. "Where is she now?, Still there? I'll pick her up". Soo relieved. So thankful. So around 4pm they were all home. The boys were home, Elin and my host dad and also me and the little one.
From the time she came I was off and after our dinner and showing her the house, we walked into Kanturk. The weather was fine. We thought about going to a Hurling Match in Kanturk, but Elin was tired and so was I, so we went home, had som popcorn and saw a romcom. 
 

The morning after, we had breakfast, packed our things. The weather was too good to be true, so I had shorts. Went in to Kanturk, had a coffe in Café Bia and then we headed of to Cork. Checked into Sheilas Hostel and got our room. Went out in Cork, showed her some things and booked a tour to Dingle for the Sunday. I started to feel sick and also Elin. 

There were some great live music at Oliver Plunkett Bar, real irish music and two irish dancers. Sooo amazing! I got a video of that! And Elin bought a thin whistle.

That evening I lost my voice and talked like I have been smoking my whole life. So we decided to have a glass of whiskey that night, to see if we got any better, so a glass of Jameson. But no better. So we went to bed quite early. Sunday morning had already started. We overslept, but we made to our tour bus anyway. It was a bit misty, but the sun shined, so I left my jacket. But something happend. Dingle. And pouring rain. I brought my umbrella and lucky Elin brought her rain coat. The weather was miserable the whole trip. Actually the whole trip was miserable. It was overbooked, one of the buses broke down. Poor tour guide. But anyway. It was beautiful. I think though it was more beautiful that I saw..Because I did not see much. Haha. 

On the Inch beach you could hire surfing boards and get lessons. Soo cool. And because of the weather = quite big waves = surfers.

Elin is crazy. And happy. I love her!

From this point it could not get any worse. You were soaking wet if u just went out for a second.
This place: Coumeenole.

Dingle City and a statue of Fungi the Dolphin. 

Selfie, me and Fungi the Dolphin.

On our way home. Happy and wet and sick.
After that trip I had to stay in bed. We had planned to go out to drink a Guinness, but no. I dreamt nightmares before I really fell asleep. Felt sick, bad cough and still whitout my voice. So we stayed. 
It was the June Bank Holiday Monday and my voice was back, not properly, but I could sing. Haha. That was all that mattered. I felt better and Elin and I checked out from our hostel and then went out shopping. A lot of shopping. She had to buy gifts and souvenirs for friends and family and then we went to Penneys. 2-3 hours we just spent in Penneys. Haha. And loads of clothes were bought. By me and her. The weather was better in Cork and we thougt of going to Blarney, but then it was already 3:30pm and not enough time. So we went to a pub and bought the Guinness we planned to have the day before. 45 mins before our train. Haha, so we had to rush. And that was my first Guinness ever. And the glass was huge. So I did not drink it all. And yes. We went home. And did not do anything really. Just relaxed.
(And the Cork Marathon was on - we saw the winner, and some other people aswell.. haha).
Yesterday, when she left. I got was off till 4. So I could spend my last hours with Elin. And then. She just left. And now. She is Gone. I missed her yesterday already, but today I do it a lot. I miss her so much I felt a bit homesick and bit jealous that she was the one gonna sit on the airport on her way home. So. Yes. I am homesick today. We will see how it goes. It is already Wednesday and just 71 days till I planned to leave. 15 days before my mom (and maybe dad) is coming. And if these four days with Elin just flew like it did. Then, I will be home in no time at all. 
The thing is just. This week and the following week my host dad is working nights, nights instead of evenings and days. So.. it is a bit differend. I woke up at 6 today, instead of 7 and my host parents are going to a wedding Friday to Saturday, so I have to babysit then, but. And yeah. We will see how it goes. I will be fine. 

Yesterday I skyped Jessica. AAAh, what I miss her. She is a lovely person. I am so happy to have soo nice familIES and friends. Thank you God for everything! 
I hope I will make it to church some day. Just been there once.

Xxx Maria
