And this year Rosa was returning to Ireland to visit Máire’s family
Agus i mbliana bhí Rosa ag fillaedh go h-Éirinn chun cuairt a thabhairt ar chlann Mháire
They got on well with each other and they were talking everyday on skype

On the first of july, Rosa flew into Dublin Airport and Máire and her family were there to give her a big welcome
Ar an gcéad lá mí Iúil, d’eitil Rosa isteach chuig aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath agus bhí Máire is a tuistí ann chun fáilte mór a chur roimpi
Rosa was coming here for a fortnight to visit the amazing views that she saw the summer before that
Bhí Rosa ag teacht anseo ar feadh coicíse chun cuairt a thabhairt ar na radharcanna iontacha a chonaic sí an samhradh roimhe sin
The following morning they did a day trip all around the city, starting in O’Connell Street
An mhaidin dar gcionn rinne siad turas lae ar fud na cathrach ag tosnú i Sráid Uí Chonaill
The weather was amazing that day and they were sitting upstairs out under the sun
Bhí an aimsir go h-álainn an lá sin agus bhí siad ina suí thuas staighre amuigh faoin ngrian
There was a guide on the bus and he showed them the big sites that were there
Bhí treoraí ar an mbus agus thaispeán sé dóibh na radharcanna móra a bhí ann

The bus stopped at the gates of trinity college and they had an hour break to visit the famous book ‘the book of kells’ that was on show in the long room
Stop an bus ag geataí Coláiste na Tríonóide agus bhí sos uaire chun cuairt a thabhairt ar an leabhar cáiliúil “Leabhar Cheanannais” a bhí ar thaispeáint sa leabharlann fhada
The place was packed with tourists as it always is but the line was moving fast so they managed to look at the book
Bhí an áit plódaithe le turasóirí an lá sin faoi mar abhíonn sé i gcónaí ach bhí an scuaine ag gluaiseacht go tapaish agus d’eirigh leo chun breathnú ar an leabhar
Máire said to Rosa that she wanted to attend that University after the leaving cert to do a degree in dentistry
Dúirt Máire le Rosa go raibhsé ar intinn aici freastak ar an Ollscoil sin tar éis na hArdteiste chun céim fiaclóireachta a dhéanamh
They returned to the gates of the college and they took the next bus to see they other part of the city

It is said to be very interesting but according to the girls it was boring looking at the old pictures on the wall and the big cup ‘Sam Maguire’
Deirtear go bhfuil sé an-suimiúil ach dar le na chailíní bhí leadránach ag féachaint ar na seanghrianghrafanna ar na ballaí agus an corn mór ‘sam maguire’
The next place they visited was the zoo. They saw tame animals and wild animals; the tigers, the monkeys and the big snakes from india
An chéad áit eile a thug siad cuairt air ná Gairdín na n-Ainmhaithe. Chonaic siad ainmhithe ceansa agus anmhaithe fiáine; na tíogair, na moncaithe agus na nathracha móra ón Ind.
They got the chance to put one of the snakes around their neck. Máirce didnt accept but Rosa did, Máire was scared.
Fuair siad an seansa ceann de na nathracha a chur timpeall a muinéal. níor ghlac Máire ach ghlac Rosa. Bhí eagla ar Mháire.
They continued back over the Liffey to the south side and out to the high-church where many bishops are buried and there is an interesting graveyard beside it
Lean siad ar ais trasna na Life go dtí an taobh theas agus amach go dtí Ard-Séipéal Naomh Phádraig, áit ina bhfuil go leor easpaig curtha agus tá reilg spéisiúl in aice leis.
The tour ended with a visit to the aviva stadium. The place was gigantic.
Chríochnaigh an turas le cuairt ar an Staid Aviva. Bhí an áit sin ollmhór.
That day there was a lot of commotion going on because there was a concert on that night and there were thousands of workers preparing the stage for the event

Off they went into grafton street and they bought makeup, perfume, clothes, CDs, runners, sweets, earrings, gold chains - the list was endless
As go brách leo isteach i sráid Ghafton agus cjeannaigh siad smidiú, cumhrán, éadaí, Dlúthdhioscaí, bróga reatha, milseáin, fáinní cluasa, slabhraí óra - bhí an liosta gan deireadh
By that time the two were starving because they hadnt eaten since the morning
Ag an am sin bhí an bheirt stiúcatha leis an ocras toisc nár ith siad ó mhaidin
They went into Bewleys cafe and ordered the special of the day; salad, chicken and chocolate cake
Chuaigh siad isteach go dtí bialann Uí Bhúrcaigh agus d’ordaigh siad ‘speisialta an lae’ sailéad, sicín agus cáca seacláide

They really enjoyed the night. Rosa is nearly fluent in English and for that reason she understood what was going on in the play.
Bhain siad an-sult as an oíche. Tá Rosa beagnach líofa sa Bhéarla agus dá bhrí sin thuig sí cad a bhí ar siúl sa dráma
Isnt Rosa lucky that she knows a family as kind and friendly as Máire’s family!
