Dublin!

Wow, do I have a lot to say but regardless I will make this short cause I'm lazy and pictures are so much easier.
Anyway, this last week, I went to Dublin with Alicia for 6 days and we had a blast!

Saturday 17th-

We Arrived at our hostel and found out that for our first night we were upgraded to a private room with no extra cost! Look we even have a kitchen!
Sunday 18th-

After going to the Tourism office we went and took a nap at Trinity College...just ignore the finger k?
We then precceded to wander around for a bit.Later I ran into Dan, a classmate from high school (very odd to meet him here), and we ended up going over to his new hostel and having a couple of drinks with him in his friends. It was fun because he filled me in on all the gossip of whats going on with our other classemates.

Monday 19th-

We tried to go to the Chester Beatty Library but it was closed. So instead we wandered around the Dublin Castle, got some coffee at starbucks, and came back to the hostel to watch Lost before going to bed.

We did take some time to do a quick visit to Dvblinia (dont ask) on the wander though.
Tuesday 20th-

Today we went on a day tour of Wicklow and Glendalough. Places in the country south of Dublin and as you can tell it is really pretty. I don't know the exact names of the places we went but Alicia does and I can get the info from her later.



Wednesday 21st-

Today we actually went to the Archeology Museum. While we were there I got bored so I sat in on a lecture called 'The Broighter Hoard: blah blah blah'. It actually was quite interesting and was about the fun stuff they find in the bogs from way back, like iron age way back. It is pretty cool.

Afterwards I went for a long long long walk around and ended up near the docks. I really liked it but passed out when I got back to the hostel.

Later that night we went to a bar with some other girls from the hostel to see Irish dancing.

Then we all went to the Temple Bar, a famous tourist bar in Dublin, because we figured that if we are going to be in Dublin we might as well. I had my first real Guinness there. I have to say it was quite good. You can see it in the center of the table.Thursday 22nd-

We actually went to the Chester Beatty Library today and looked around at the religious documents it had from most of the major religions of the world. It was cool and quite educational.

After the museum we left for the airport and came back to grenoble! I was so glad to get back because I was starting to get sick and that is never good.

Good bye Dublin....
