It is hard to believe that I have been in Dublin for a day. Sunday, I went out to lunch with some of my family and I could not believe that I was going to the airport after that. Sunday and Monday seemed like four days because I did so much. After three hours of hurry up and wait at the airport, we had a seven hour flight. After we landed we went on a 30 minute bus ride to our hostel, which is right across from Christ's Church Cathedral. We walked around on our on for a little bit, then went on a three hour walking tour where we learned about the history of Dublin. After that it was nap time. When we woke up we went to dinner at Peter's Pub for a sandwich and a pint.
Today we had our student travel cards made at Trinity College which made me feel like I was in Hogwarts. After that we had lunch. It is now easier for me to see why the Irish are a bit rounder, their food and beer are so heavy. After lunch we explored the city some more. We walked by St. Stephen's Green and down Grafton Street where there are many street entertainers. A few of us took a break in a pub, and I can now say that the Guinness is much better here than in the states.
Soon it will be dinner time and the next time you hear from me I will most likely be in Carlow.
