We woke up the next morning and had the lovely toast the hostel provided us with for breakfast.
We headed off for our bus tour of the Wicklow Mountains. Our guide was awesome. He had a great Irish accent. He taught us Irish folk songs like “cockles and muscles a live a live o” if you want to hear the song ask me to sing it for you when I get back to the states.
He drove us by where the U2 studios are and some other famous places they have recorded music. Then we hit the Scottish coast. It was really cold so we didn’t get in but there were Irish people there swimming. They swim in the Irish everyday. It was really weird to watch. But I got to touch the Irish Sea it was nice for a Duffy to return to their home land.
Then we stopped at this random store for a bathroom brake. The store had some really cool books in it. One of the books was 100 things you must see before you die. We started going through them and checking off the things we have done in London. It was really neat to realize how much I have really seen since I have been here.
Then we got to the Wicklow Mountains. It was a stunning sight. It was extremely winding. Somehow my pictures don’t really capture how windy it was. We stopped at an over look with two lakes. The Guinness family has an estate right by these lakes. This family owns the distillery company that makes all of the liquor for Ireland.
Our last stop was the ruins of a monastery. I found some of my Duffy relative buried there. I did find some Duffy’s buried there but I don’t think we are related to them but it was still fun to pretend. We spent about two hours here. We walked around the two lakes and explored the beautiful scenery.
The bus then dropped us off in the city center. We decided to wonder through Temple Bar area and Grafton Street. Our group then split. I decided to head back to the hostel and call it a day. Most of the places were closing anyway and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on dinner.
When we got back to the hostel I decided to work on my young women’s lesson. It was about dating. So I gave the girls in my room not cards. I then asked them some questions about dating and had them make up different answers for a very good girl and a really not so good girl. It was really funny the stuff they came up with. We had a fun girls night in the hostel planned the nest day and then went to bed.

You never told me how that lesson went anyway. I can't believe you found more Duffy's.
