>> On behalf of my 35 students from the University of Dubuque, I would like to thank all at Teac Jack, Glassagh, for a wonderful time. Our evenings spent over a period of 4 nights with you was nothing short of spectacular. With music on every night and the locals making my students feel at home in this unique pub, restaurant and hotel, you all demonstrated the friendliness of those lyrics in the Homes of Donegal song. Thanks again Annie, Anita, Nuala, Mary, Connie and especially Gearoid. Dancing in the ceile was great fun for them. And, of course, marching in the St. Patrick's Day parade was an event these students will always remember. I am enclosing some images for the website. Thanks, again. You can expect to have loads of these students and their families revisit in the near future. Go raibh mile maith agat. Alan G from Dubuque, Iowa. 19, March, 2011.
