Photographs in order of appearence:
At the top is a photograph of the football grounds just beside my home. The Gealic games are the most popular sports in Ireland and each townland has its own club, each with teams for all ages from 6 years old to senior levels. My home townland is called Derrylaughan and my local gealic team is called Derrylaughan Kevin Barry's.
Next is a picture of myself and my travel Buddy Kerri-Ann at our leaving party in the Hatfield House (Belfast) before we took flight from the Emerald Isle. Just a few days before we left we were nicknamed as 'The Danish Crusaders'!
Next is one of my favourite pictures from Åbenrå, quite fittingly i have named it 'Iona Boat'. (I wish)
The forth picture here is one of some of the girls I met in Åbenrå at the EILC course, during a beach party. It was a great experience meeting people from all over Europe, infact in this picture alone Hungry, France, Belgium and Ireland are represented. (and thats not counting the Italian in the background!)
The month I spent in Åbenrå was a fantastic introduction to Denmark. Schools like Højskolen Østersøen are of a kind only found in Denmark. In my opinion it is a great way to allow European's to discover Denmark. From the moment we arrived here we immediately sensed the 'hugge' tradition, also only found in Denmark with a warm greeting and an equally warm meal...what more can an Irish girl ask for?!
