Trip to the GAA Museum and Croke Park!

On monday, we all went on a history trip to Croke Park and the GAA museum. We went at 12:00 and I, who had only ever seen the stadium from a distance, was struck by how huge it was! We entered the foyer through a door surrounded by the names of all the GAA clubs in Ireland and were taken through into a small lecture theater where we all sat down to watch a short film on the running of Croke Park. Once the film was over we were then taken on a tour of the stadium. We saw the changing rooms, the players' lounge, the transport tunnel and the commercial boxes. We then climbed up to the very top seats and looked out over the stadium while the guide pointed out the features and history of the place. Overall it was a very interesting experience, even for me a non-GAA follower! I would gladly go again!

History Project!

For my History Project I have decided to focus on Stuttgart, Germany since this is where my mum comes from. The city's history is very interesting and I am thoroghly enjoying doing this project so far! The Romans, Celts and Swabian Dukes all have left the city full of historical monuments and it also was very heavilly bombed in WWII due to the Mercedez-Benz, Bosch and Porsche factories in the area.
