Hello..Hello,
it's Sarah..I know its been ages since we last updated, but frankly there hasn't been much to tell. We've spent the last few weeks in Derry. We had a free place to stay so we took advantage and just relaxed. We got addicted to UK Big Brother, took advantage of having a kitchen and cooked up a storm, and basically hung out. It was very relaxing, very chilled out...we had a great time. We took day trips to both Belfast and Giant's Causeway (an amazing volcanic rock formation about 2hrs from Derry, it looked like thousands of perfect steps carved into rock) Finally on friday,we said goodbye to our great new housemates, and headed out down to Dublin.
Dublin was a blast. It was a wild weekend to be there because U2 were performing 2 concerts (oh I wish we could have gotten tickets!) and it was Dubblin's Gay Pride. It was a packed town. We took the Guinness tour and drank a pint in the amazing 7th bar which had a great view of the city. Then we walked over to Trinity University and looked around there. Finally we wandered onto Grafton street to check out the shopping. Oh my, was it crowded! I swear it was worse then the Eaton Centre on Christmas Eve.. just packed! On Saturday night Dev and I decided to do a pub crawl. Ended up at some great places, including the Gay Pride headquarters (totally by accident!! and let me tell you.. some of those boys can dance!!..haha) Fun times.
On Sunday we came to Cork. Great town actually. The downtown is really nice..Today we took a trip to Blarney to kiss the stone. It's a BEAUTIFUL day: hot and sunny...what luck! Blarney is a very quaint place - the castle and grounds are beautiful and the town is really cute.
So..this end our time in Ireland. We've now decided to leave the Western-most country in Europe and head East. I hear they make good kebabs in Turkey...might try that out.
Miss you all!!!
Sarah
