today we went to the Yeats and bog bodies museum and the national art gallery. It was good we left about half 9 and amina and emnet were separated for the first two tours yeats and the bog bodies. Emnet went to the bog bodies first. We learnt about the bronze age and what people used to wear as jewelery such as gold torcs. Then the tour guide guided us to see real bog bodies .It was pretty gruesome, one man had his head chopped off and all that remains is the middle part of his body. It was remarkable to be able to still see his fingernails and his hands in such detail. Another was believe to have been hit several times in the head by a hammer and you could still see his hair and beard! It was really interesting. Then Emnet and Amina swapped over and we went to the Yeats museum. Although literature is does not excite me i found it quite interesting to learn about Yeats life and the amount of women that he was in love with.
After that we were given a hour to go for lunch. I went to McDonalds with my friends then we walked around since it was such a lovely day. I couldn't believe how warm it was! After lunch we walked to the National Arts museum where we were taken around by a guide to look at the different paintings by artists such as Jack Yeats. The paintings were very good.
