Week 1 Continued (slightly belated)

Wow so I'm not so good at this. I just realized I haven't finished ANY of my blogs so far! ha ha I really need lessons on this.

I was looking through my pictures and realized that I left a lot out of the first week that was really great so I thought I'd just throw them in now with maybe breif explanations of what is going on. I didn't have to work this week so I had the entire week to prepare for work, sight see, sleep, etc. The week went really fast and I no longer really remember everything that we did. But fortunately I took over 500 pictures in the first week! Don't worry though I won't put them all up here. I'm not promising there won't still be an overwhelming

amount though!.

First of all I need to mention that I met some girls when I first got here that I have been hanging out/sight seeing with. They are really chill and come from all over. First of all there is Jenny and Rachel from Virginia, Maggie and Mandy from Wisconsin, Kim from Philly, Megan from Oregan, John from upstate NY, Julie from... I don't remember where, and then much later on my roommate Nicole will start to enter some of the pictures as well. I'll introduce them all in the pictures as we go. There is also John from upstate NY as well that comes around with us every once in a while. He's a really great guy.

Because I can't remember what happened when and why here goes nothin! (literally :))

!I take the Dublin bus everywhere I want to go. It can be annoying and frustrating because the routes and times are not really clearly designated and the city is not really easy to navigate because while you might start out on Swords road in less than a mile it turns into Drumconda and then to another name... I can't tell you how often i'm lost.

The first night here we took it easy and just went to pub just down the street from us.

This is Jenny

This is the Pub. Everyone here is super nice.

After the Comet we went to the Beaumont HouseLoved the "toilets"

The next day we hoped on the bus and went sight seeing in City Centre (downtown Dublin). Sight seeing involved getting lost as we walked around taking random pictures of cool places.

We're not in Utah anymore

Ah... cheesy

The architecture here is amazing!

I love the scenery!

This is part of a gov't bldg

The whole city revolves around the pub, Guinness, and gambling!

The next day some of us (not including me) had interviews and so we met up for a late lunch afterwards in City Centre. We went to this American style diner there! It was ok...

Jenny and Julie. Very cuteMeet Megan and Kim

Afterwards we went to Trinity College. It is just off of the main street in City Centre and is like a haven in the city. The College and all of the main buildings are really old. I'm not sure what era they're from but it's been around a while. The architecture is amazing and when you walk in you feel like you've left the city all together. We spent a few minutes walking around but weren't able to go into any of the buildings.

Ain't I cute?

Well folks that's a wrap for this evening! I'm beat!
