Day 3 for Wrestling in Ireland

Hey everyone! Hope all is well in the states. Today was another great day! We started off with another AM practice with the Irish and Welsh teams. Their number one stud nicknamed "Muhammed Ali" showed us some moves and was really great at wrestling freestyle. After practice we got the bagged lunches again which were yet again pretty horrible. After that we traveled an hour and a half to the Bush Mills Distillery which was pretty cool. They gave us a tour and free shots at the end. The shots were disgusting and I was not really interested as it tasted really disgusting.

After that we had a BBQ at the hostel which was excellent. After being served slop the last two nights for dinner this tasted so much better and really got our night off to a better start. Unfortunately, Coach Kemmy didn't trust us to go out past 11 PM again tonight. This was a real bummer because we never got to experience the real experience in Derry which we all looked forward to in coming to Northern Ireland. We were all real upset considering we have no wrestling tomorrow. We wrestle in Dublin on Thursday which should be fun and luckily I may have the chance to have my uncle see me wrestle since he is a professor at the University of College in Dublin! I will also be allowed the chance to meet two of my cousins for the first time in my life which should be pretty awesome. We'll let you know how it goes from there. Nice talking to you!
