St. Patricks, with the Leprachauns.

Yes, I went to Dublin for St. Patrick's Day. It was a GREAT idea.

We began by getting on the flight seated next to a couple guys from Chile---after about a half hour of talking they decided they were buying wine for the whole lot of us. And that is when we began celebrating the biggest holiday for Ireland, on our way out to Ireland :) I couldn't believe it, but wow what a day! I got a cider and a shot of Jameson Whiskey to commence Dublin, but the best part of the night was Hungry Harry's, a random hole in the wall restaurant we found next to temple bar! I do not remember the last time I orgasmed eating garlic cheese fries :) All in all, the first night was pretty uneventful and best explained by a bunch of random wandering in the new city. Fitzsimmons, a club we went to, was a lot of fun, but Temple Bar, the place Dublin is known for, was impossible to navegate. I retired after that, to eat my fries! A good decision overall, I'd have to admit.

Saturday we were smart enough to outsmart Ireland: we took a tour bus around the city instead of trying to conquer it ourselves. It was a hop on hop off kind of thing and we got to see everything, and I mean everything, that I had hoped to see---Trinity College, Dublin Castle, Doors of Dublin, St. Stephen's Green, Grafton Street, Guinness Factory and old Jameson Distillery, the Liffey River, and whatever else was there that I forgot the names to or didn't have enough interest in! Another interesting night topped off my St. Patty's Day weekend. But I enjoyed being able to watch friends, scrubs, and the office, in our hotel room, in english!

Speaking of hotel, that was the most interesting part of the entire weekend. Let's just say they were counting heads, and we had one too many Chelsea's trying to check in! What a crazy turn of events. You don't want the actual story.

I am glad to be done with Ryanair flights. As we bounced coming into the landing strip I thanked god to not ever have to do that again. And now, Alicante. Wow, what luck. I hope you are keeping up with it all. I'll tell you more about it when I am not tired and stressed out about a broken camera, BAH.
