Trip to Kildare :)
On Wednesday the 20th March all Transition Years went on a trip to Kildare. It started off by going to Kildare village where we went into a heritage center and watched a video on the impact St.Bridget had on our County. Our Chaplin then brought us to the Cathedral and we learnt what was the difference between a protestant and a catholic church. He then brought us around the back of it where there was a monument where St.Bridget lit a fire and also a round tower. We were told that if you walked around the round tower seven times backwards that you'll have a dream of the man you are going to marry that night. At lot of girls took part but we rushed them as we were all starving and wanted to go and get some food. We then drove to the Japanese Gardens and National stud, where we visited two wells. The first well was a bit far and we were so hungry that we ran to it. Their was also five stones in this area, so we prayed at each of them and at the last stone there was a tree, where you could hang an item that meant something to you so people could pray for the person you were representing with the item. We then walked back and visited the other well. There was a stepping stone across the well so we walked along it, bent down and blessed ourselves with the holy water from the well.
We then got to go to White Water Shopping Centre in Newbridge so we all ran to get our lunch in the food court as we were all so hungry. At 1:15 we then went onto Naas for Bowling in KBowl. I was on a team with Aoibhinn, Elizabeth, Kate,Sarah, Eve , Shauna and Katie. Unfortunately I didn't win but I did come 3rd :) I really enjoyed the day and would really love to do it again :)
