Hey Greg!
You will not believe
where I have been this week! It was great fun - Greg was chatting
with some teachers from one of the schools in Oxford and it turns
out they were about to take some children to play rugby in another
country. So, it turns out that I was invited to go with them and
you have to guess which city we visited. The photos might help you
- there are four this week.
Firstly, let me give
you some hints. We drove in a minibus up to the top of Wales to
a town called Holyhead and then we got on a ferry which took a couple
of hours to get to this city. We had a couple of days so we were
able to do some sight-seeing as well as play a couple of rugby matches.
One of the photos is
of me standing in front of a big, grey stone building which is Trinity
College (but I can't tell you which city - you have to guess). Trinity
College was founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I on the site of
an Augustinian priory. Then, there's one of me on the most famous
street in this city - O'Connell Street. The statue just behind me
is of Charles Stewart Parnell who was a famous nationalist of this
country. Then there is one of me in front of a bridge which is over
the River Liffey. The bridge is called the Halfpenny Bridge and
it was built in 1821. Finally, another one of me in the pub with
a pint of Guinness. Guinness is made in this city and, of course,
it is shipped all over the world but they say there is nothing quite
like a pint of Guinness in this city. (I wouldn't know, of course,
never having had any Guinness anywhere else and I am too young to
drink anyway.
Tell me where you think
I have been then and I will tell you if you are right!
Your pal,
Flat Stanley
