Emerald Isle

Saturday February 21, 2009

Today we had a group breakfast, and we had the day to ourselves basically. We went into city center, witnessed a protest. We wlkaed down O-connell street- a main street and on side streets. We got lunch at a restuarant, and later realized it was a french restaurant. go figure the 2nd day in Dublin we went to a french restaurant.

- We went into the main tourist shopping place- Carrolls. Ann said that was teh place to go to get souveniers. We walked back to campus after that.

- Walked to Quinns at night, stayed there for a little bit, and went to a dance club place afterward.

Goodbye Paris, Hello DUBLIN!!

Friday February 20th, 2009

Today we had to be out by 7- it was still dark when we had left. we said all of our goodbyes to our friends. I was a little sad to be going but i could not wait to go to dublin-- i did feel like ready to leave paris tho.

But we were still running late... mising one of the ppl going to dublin with us- he seemed to have "mysteriously" disapeared. But we had to leave- he had left a letter sayign he wasnt going to dublin just yet--- CRAZYYYY story... for later on.

- at the airport- checked in all ppl going to rome, and we then started to go to our place, but we were in the wrong terminal!--- we basically RAN to our terminal, and then it ended up being like a 4 hr delay- we didn't end up boarding the plane til 2.

- We headed into ireland-- IT WAS BEAUTIFUL and green hah
-Once we got our bags, we headed out and looked for someone from st. johns. - Ann was there. She is the sweetest person ever-- always in the best interest of us. It was so weird dirving home- everyone is opposite- steering wheel and road. The college was about a 20 minute ride away from the airport. It was a ncie ride to teh college- everythign was pretty- the weather was so nice- we all had our jackets off, Ann thought it was cold hah. Loved ireladn fomr the minute we landed hah

- after we got to the college, we went ot the coffee dock to meet up and get our keys and learn the rules and everything. We went to late lunch in the cafeteria. Food was so good compared to paris!

- We got back at 6, brought up our luggage, and unpacked for a bit. At 7 we headed out wiht ann to dinner at a place called Porter house that we walked to. It was about a 15 min walk. The walk back seemed quicker for some reason.

<3 Ireland so much!
