Famous Irish people and where they live

Ireland is home to many famous faces. Bono is well known worldwide for being the lead vocalist for the Irish band U2. He was born in Dublin, Ireland and his family home is in Ballymun,which is located north-side Dublin.The obscenely rich Irish musician has since moved to the celebrity hotspot

I spent a great weekend with my host family. On Friday 14^thOctober we all went to stay in a hotel for the weekend. This was to celebrate their Grandmother’s Birthday all together.

On the first night we went to the restaurant in the hotel where we enjoyed some delicious food. The next morning, when we got up we had a lovely breakfast in the hotel. For my breakfast I had eggs, sausages, and some orange juice.

After breakfast I went with the boys to play a few games of pool. When we finished we went see their Uncle. The boys decided to go swimming, but I did not want to go so I stayed and read my book. The next day we enjoyed playing lots of different games. We had a lot of fun hanging out together.

We had to leave early in the afternoon as Ireland were expecting a Hurricane on the Monday morning.
