There's some stuff about yesterday that I didn't get a chance to write about, mostly because it hadn't happened yet!
After I wrote, some of these lovely ladies to your left (the picture is, left to right: Kate, Kelsey and Helen) and yours truly headed to get some food at Gourmet Burger Kitchen down near Grafton. I went there a few days ago and loved it, so I shared my happy discovery. I think the place is aussie and their menu is very fresh. I got another super good veggie burger.. happiness was found. We met up with some other girls who had gone on a little tour of the Guinness factory earlier in the day at the restaurant, then we split again, Kate, Kelsey, Helen and I heading to go check out some pretty parks we see on the buses.
We walked down Dame Street and along the way were confronted with the end of the Pride Parade. One person was even dressed like my favorite Lady, Miss Gaga. It was a total riot to see such a vivacious population of people enjoying themselves!
We took a bunch of pictures of each other standing next to the colorful doors of Dublin on our way to Christchurch Cathedral.
Once there, we headed to another church, St. Patricks. We decided we didn't really need to go inside because the weather was so incredibly beautiful. After lounging on the greens for a bit, we headed to some different pubs (yes, Mother, they are called pubs, not bars) to watch the most heart breaking game ever! I'm still pretty upset about the way that one turned out. Poor United States. Poor us.
Slagging is what the Irish call being teased and sure did we get slagged for losing. I was still really bitter so we went out and had a good time in the Temple Bar and Graton area of town. There are some super fun places over there and Kelsey and I really do well at having a great time down town.
It seems that from any point in Dublin you are either in the sight of a church or a pub, so I guess my day was spent in a very Dublin way, spending time at both.
Today I just got my life back in order while the other girls went on a bus tour of Wicklow. I did laundry and cleaned and will go to bed early here in a bit. I don't sleep very well here because it never gets very dark and there's lots of noise. Hopefully I can catch up before work tomorrow!
Well love you all!
