... again. After that we toured Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral, and walked around St. Patrick Cathedral. All three were nice views, but the castle was closed so we we just walked around it. There were sand sculptures in the middle of the castle and here is a picture of one of them. We toured inside the Christ Church Cathedral and it was massive. The church has been here for nearly 1000 years and it has a ...

... for a chemist to dose up Gill who was struggling big time. Waited for fifteen minutes before finding out we can’t get on the Viking splash until 2.30pm, booked our seats and jumped on a double decker open top bus for a sightseeing tour. Jumped off at Dublina Viking Exhibit. The boys got to run through exploring the displays and trying on some Viking helmets & clothes. At the end of the Viking display we climbed up the tower for a 360 view of the city ...

... phone. I could get up and start writing my travel journal. I could get up and look outside. It was the “getting up” part that made me hesitate. I chose “none of the above” and went back to sleep. About three hours later I was awakened by the sound of the housekeeping staff whapping on guests' doors down the hallway. I can’t recall exactly what time it was, but I remember thinking, “It is entirely too early for housekeeping to expect guests ...

... where my beloved Oscar Wilde went to school). From there we figured we would mosey around Merrion square and check out some of the shops and sights before heading over to the Guinness Storehouse for a pint. Legend has it, there is a bar at the top that is nothing but windows and gives a spectacular 360 degree view of the city.


3 hours and 8 minutes til breakfast... wish me luck!

... don't really enjoy it. Plus, it's no fun being alone in the office either. It's been OK so far, I have had some minor scares but I've gotten through it. Had this real scary episode yesterday where some managers stormed into my office real upset over a contract issue. That's when the 23 year old baby intern inside just really want to run away and hide but, whats that expression.. fake it until you make it, right? Alright thats it, I'm gonna shut up now. Hope you enjoyed, I'll try to update more often.

I've just come back to the hostel after appx. 5 hours of wandering. After an excellent hostel-provided breakfast (from what I've been told, it'll all be downhill from here), I walked through Dublin, visiting Trinity College and St. Stephen's Green. I'm still adjusting to the whole 'not being busy' thing. A number of times today I've had to remind myself to slow down, there's no ...

... are very superstitious, and when you walk around the fairy ring you have to repeat your wish in your head and say " thank you " in Gaelic when you finish and they will grant your wish. We stayed the night in a very tiny down called Doolin. Doolin has about 5 pubs and 10 bed and breakfast places. There isn ' t much there, but you would have never guessed it. We ate dinner at McGann ' s, which according to our guide, has the ...

... use computers. So I thought by buyingthem here, I would help the students of the centre, give the centre much needed money, help the bura economy slightly, and get tables and chairs for the school next year.
So I met the manager and asked a price of 30 school chairs, 4 tables seating 8 children each, and two teachers chairs and tables. Total price - sixteen thousand fiver hundred Kenyan schillings about 200 euro. So I bought them for the school, right now ...

Well, I'm leaving Dublin today and I'm truly sad about leaving. I've met some wonderful new friends and all I want to do is chill out here and hang out with them. I had a relaxing day out yesterday. Then chilled in a pub with one of my new friends until it was time to catch the last bus back to my guest house. Was hoping to meet another friend today for lunch before I leave for the air port. I do really like Ireland. One thing interesting about ...

Well, I'm back in Dublin today, and it was a thoroughly long ride to be sure. I took a few pictures, but there really wasn't very much to see in Galway. Also, my foot was hurting so bad that I just stayed in last night and watched a movie on my trusty iPod. I suppose there's only so much sightseeing a person can do before they just have to rest! I tried to rest, anyway. It was kind of hard with all the ...
