We had a whirlwind tour of Wales over the past couple of days. After a stop to explore the Roman walled town of Chester in Northern England, we crossed over the border and headed for Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. We stumbled over the pronunciation, stamped our passports, did a little shopping, and got back on the bus to begin the Full On experience. Students learned new ways to approach challenges and life and broke solid planks in half using only their hand or foot! We got into the hotel late in the evening, grabbed a few hours of sleep, then got up bright and early to return to Full On and do some abseiling at Penrhyn Castle. Every delegate succeeded in at least standing on the top edge of the tower and leaning back over the 100 foot drop, even if they didn't complete the descent. Either way, they all accomplished an amazing feat of bravery!
We took the ferry from Holyhead this afternoon and appreciated the incredibly (rare) calm Irish Sea for the duration of the journey. After three hours on the bus, we've arrived at a beautiful hotel in Limerick, Ireland. We have another busy couple of days ahead of us and likely no internet. I'll post again from Dublin for certain.
