Ireland: Fairy Liquid

I got up at 6:30 this morning to take a shower. Afterwards, we went down to breakfast, which was cereal, croissants, and French toast. We washed our dishes with fairy liquid, which is what they call dish soap.

We walked to the other side of camp and loaded onto the bus. It took us to a local roller skating rink in Bangor, which is apparently the only rink in Northern Ireland. We tried to bring a little America to the rink by requesting the “YMCA” and “Cha Cha Slide,” but the girls had already heard the songs. I can now say I roller skated in Northern Ireland though.


We took a long, boring walk through Bangor afterwards until it was time for the bus to take us back to camp. For lunch we had ham and cheese sandwiches, penguin chocolate bars that taste like kit-kats, traybakes which are chocolate covered sugar cookies, ham slices, and an apple.

Following lunch, we participated in a camp Olympics. Our group was in charge of the egg race for the Streamers group. We came in second for the competition. It was really boring to watch though and it started to pour halfway through so we had to finish inside.

We went to the camp store afterwards to buy notebook paper and postcards. Then at dinner we had noodles and meat sauce that I didn’t try. There were peas, some sort of apple crumble dish, jello, and ice cream too. Ice cream from Northern Ireland tastes good with jello.
The closing ceremonies for camp Yahoo were tonight, so we were treated to a talent show performed by the girls and participated in camp songs.
