Day 1
Well I’m going to be doing these blogs in days as Larissa requested to make it easier 
After a crazy long flight (or so I thought at the time) I finally arrived in Dublin a day later and pretty pooped. I got lost when I was connecting flights in LHR I went to the wrong area but quickly figured out I was going the wrong way The food on the planes was pretty good we even had Ice Cream YESSSS! So I got to Dublin with my luggage (always a plus) and then came out of the gate and met up with Liz, even though she didn’t recognize me. Apparently they had a big storm there on Christmas night and there was a layer of thick ice in the car park. So after Liz figured out where we were going apparently all the roads have been changed around since she left Dublin (ie. one ways going other direction) and then we got to Owens and took a walk to get food. We went to this tiny restaurant that was just around the corner. It was pretty neat not just boring tables everywhere like we have most little places have couches and tables. After that we went to the Garda Station (police) so Liz could get her insurance papers for all the stuff that went missing when her rucksack got stolen(those Knackers!!). The we were talking about where we were going out that night and I made a comment how of course we were going to a pub I wouldn’t expect any less. Then this drunk guy made a comment about what was I saying that all Irish people were drunks. Being as tired as I was I was like uhmmm no. Turns out this guy was there to sign in. In Ireland they have you come to the Garda station when you are on parole so you can’t flee the country. So Liz made jokes that I was here a few hours and I was already making friends with the criminals. That night we went to Neasa’s to have dinner. It was sooo funny because her brother and her don’t get along and he was annoying the crap out of her. I also got to meet her parents who are very lovely people After that we went back to Owens then walked to the bar (see a walking theme!); the bar we went to that night was called The Barge. It was nice it reminded me of home which made me miss everyone here but that did not last long. Within minutes of us arriving people started showing up. that night it was JB, Orla, Nikki,Kaira(I have no clue if thats spelt right my writting is very messy), Eimear, Lorna, Sarah, Wayne and eventually Geoff. It was a lot of fun and they had these really neat Carlsburg glasses that I told Geoff I wanted to steal so he heloed me pilfer them It was Fun! I talked to Geoff pretty much the whole night he was so much fun to talk to. Finally we got home after walking at 1:30 and went to bed.
