Yesterday we woke up bright and early to see as much of Dublin as we could, via a walking tour. We looked at the brochure for a paid trip, and just did it ourselves. We went with Paul, whose a roommate of ours. It was a really long walk, like...really long...like 9 hours or so. We found a really nice park with live music that we sat and listened to for awhile, and we actually plan on going back today and having a picnic. We saw lots of castles, cathedrals and old buildings (its cool to be in a place that actually has buildings older then a couple hundred years)--plus we just g
ot to hear a lot of awesome accents. The weather was temperamental, it was nice when we started and when we were at the parks, but the rain would come and go and at one point was actually quite hard. When we went under cover at Dublin Castle, we actually ran into a friend of mine from college, who is in Dublin as well! And we actually ran into her again at a tour that we did later in the day. Very unexpected! We had lunch at a cute little pub, and they actually had a vegetarian burger. Ok well now I'm just telling you random details so I'll go, but all in all the town is gorgeous and the people are really nice--like, people asked us if we were lost whenever we looked at the map (and we always were), we didn't have to ask! Tomorrow we're going to Killarney, so we may not be able to get back right away. Til next time!

Was this an Amy or Laura post?
Andddd, can you post some pictures? So I can see this lovely place called Ireland?
That was another Amy post. Laura's about to make a post though. We're going to try, maybe today, maybe in a few days. It would be cool to be able to have pictures in the blogs.
