So the Dublin = Rain, and lots of it. Wandering streets and cobblestone alleys under a grey sky on a Sunday afternoon we found ourselves with actually little to do besides wander in pubs. We stepped into some random shops that were open and listened to some wonderful music on the street corners. Hunting groceries and getting the best prices around I think we made a pretty good assessment of our financial situation in Dublin. There is a Guinness Book of World Records event going on for the number of Where's Waldos in one area at this time so there are plenty of red and white stripes to go around. We managed to befriend one of our bunk mates even though she does not speak English and she gave us her free drinks and asked if we could send some postcards off for her. This is more of an experience type of moment as we haven't really talked to anyone since we have got here and the most communication that we have had with a person has been with one that doesn't speak English well. We are enjoying the relaxed atmosphere in Dublin. People laugh, dance, drink, and sing. Music is simply everywhere, and for me that is a wonderful thing. Music that has been passed through a culture for years and is even sung to this day with the same fervor is amazing to me. We plan on going to the Guinness Storehouse tomorrow for touring and our first official taste of Dublin Guinness. Stuart is less excited then me but I think she still gains some amusement in my silliness. Speaking of silliness Stuart took me to the Green Lantern today for my birthday. I have been raving to her about my favorite superhero for months now and she decided to be wonderful and take me. I was not disappointed in the film, but it was definitely a DC Ironman with a family geared paint coat. Well time to go to sleep with the sound of the neighboring pub in my ears. Here is hoping the squawking lady from last night does not decide to grab the microphone again.
With more silliness to report tomorrow
