After that we went had soem lunch then off to a walking tour!! Yes. I will give you all the details later, as I am super tired and I will have more time but oh!! The Dublin Castle was closed off to the public as they're choosing the rotation for the EU council, so yea, that was pretty snazzy to hear about. It was awesome to walk around and, after taking a Modern European History class, knowing all of the history of Ireland.
We walked to see the Famine Memorial and wow, what a sight. There were all in all 6 statues, but my goodness did they make an impression. They were too lifelike and all too much real. I wish I could find the words I need to say.
We wandered around and saw St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Then as we were walking back, there was the cutest guy playing his guitar. We hing around and listened for a while until the cold was too unbearable. Kudos to him for playing out in the cold. His voice was lovely. He has great falsettos.
So it's our last night here in Dublin, then it's back to Plymouth and essay writing for me. I have ne to turn in on the 23, one on May 1, and 7. The latter is no biggie, I mean come on, how hard is Shakespeare to write about, and it's Hamlet for goodness sakes! It also helps having a fantastic professor with a British accent. Moving on, I shall update as I see fit, but stayed tuned!
Allons-y!

I loved St Patricks cathedral when I first visited Dublin. I made sure to get a gold celtic cross when I was there. Isn't is creepy though how European's bury their dead in the floor... I felt so weird... well, walking on them!
ReplyDeleteIt was weird at first, and then I think I got used to it, as weird as that sounds, I got used to it. I think because I had seen it before.
