Another fun thing we did on our long trip south was we were able to go to Inch Beach on our way to Dingle. We met another group of Americans at the beach and there was a girl and guy that were actually from Minnesota, it was nice to meet some new people that were from Minnesota. Many of our group started taking pictures of the beautiful beach but most of us guys started skipping rocks into the water. We then thought it would be fun to run down to the edge of the water and run back up when a wave was coming in and trying not to get wet. That soon escalated to us taking off our shoes and rolling up our pants and walking into the ocean.
It didn't take too long until a big, unexpected wave came and got our pants wet. We then realized that our pants were already soaked so we mine as well make the most of it. So we stripped down to our boxers and decided to run head first into the ocean. Oh and did I mention that the ocean was absolutely freezing. We couldn't feel our feet after being in the ocean for about 30 seconds. When the water reached your waste you started to lose your breath a little and when you went completely under the water your breath was lost until you jumped out of the water. We ran out of the ocean just to warm up, the sun beating on your bare skin felt great after the freezing cold ocean.
Our bus driver says every year all of the guys jump into the ocean and none of the girls ever do. All of us said it was totally worth having wet underwear for the rest of the day. Finally we were all soaked and super cold and decided to head back to our bus. We couldn't feel our hands or feet so the four of us cuddled together in two seats and rapped ourselves in some of the blankets the nice girls lent us "crazy boys". We were so cold that we thought everything was hilarious and other than being super cold we were all in a great mood.
