setember eleven
I moved to Terre Haute, Indiana, to Cork in Ireland in 1981. Bucause I was 8 years old my father got a new job there.
The first trip was exciting and frightening. We were delayed by the strike by air traffic controllers (Rember that?). Eventully However, we left New York to London and there at the end Cork Ireland.
We had to live in a hotel for a month called jury because our house was not ready. Then we moved into our home I knew many children and made friends quickly. We lived on a high hill with fields Explorer game trials.
When he came around Setembre it was time for school. I was in third class and the school is called San Lucas. I had to take Irish as laungage. Yet few speak. I had to use a blasphemer gray, gray pants, red shirt and a red tie and gray. I had to work about a mile to school in the bottom of the hill.
During the year I played football (soccer the Irish), throw (a type Irsh old game of hockey) and cricket. When I lived there they had just 2 channels RTE 1 and RTE 2 did not arrive until 4 pm!
In weekends my family and I took a trip to the island. Our house was 30 minutes from the ocean. We went to several beaches to stroll, play or simply picnic on the water too cold. Ireland has very high tides which sometimes beaches are tide pools and people would put the boots are called Wellies and digging for mussels. most rocky beaches are very few sand. Since wind is always in Ireland, sometimes there will be inches of foam on the beach. No matter where you are in Ireland, you can listen to the call of sea birds.
My family loved to visit castles. Most Irish castles are in ruins that are open to the public. Blarney Castle was not far from Cork city and been there many times. The most important thing to do in the castle to kiss the Blarney stone. You go to the top of castle, hanging upside down and lower your head to kiss the stone.
In 1987 my family moved to Indianapolis, Indiana. Ireland was an adventure I will never forget. I have a website and below and would appreciate a look.
