Sunday- The night before our roommates went out to the clubs and in the morning our room stunk! It was hot which made the smells of B.O. and alcohol very strong. When Rachel, Jenny and I had gotten up Emily and Katelyn were already gone because they decided to take a bus tour to the Cliffs of Moher. I really wanted to go but did not want to spend the 60 euros. We went to breakfast right away because the smell was so gross. While there we sort of planned out our day after the Old Jameson Distillery because the night before we decided to meet the other group at 10 am there. The roads had us partially confused but we made our way there. The other group showed up late, but we bought our tickets anyways. The ticket man was like a human dictionary. He knew all kinds of fun facts about Wisconsin and Minnesota. The first part of the tour was a video about Jameson. Afterwards the tour guide wanted volunteers to test the whiskey. I had my hand up right away, but the lady was like, "oh we will come back to you." ugh. The tour was a half hour long, but very interesting and intriguing. At the end we got to have whiskey with either coke, ginger ale, or cranberry juice. I took ginger ale and tried some of the cranberry. It just so happened that I loved the cranberry and Jameson. When it was all done, the groups went our separate ways. The girls and I ended up finding the Cathedral, but we got there around noon and mass was still going on. I suggested we go to the cafe right across the street and there we had some good sandwiches. By the time we were done the cathedral was open to the public. The inside was one of the smaller cathedrals I have seen, but never-the-less it was great to see. Once done seeing that we walked to St. Stephen's Green Shopping Centre. I was so relieved to get there because I just wanted a coffee and to sit down. Then we found Grafton Street where there were a lot of cute, European shops. We wandered down the street to a park. It reminded me of spring time at home! It was a long day of walking and we ended the night with pizza and chit-chat.
Celsey, I'm very much enjoying "following" you on your trip through your blog. What a great job you are doing with blogging! Thanks for sharing and it will mean so much to you in the years to come, too. We (the office) received your music video postcard in the mail today. Haven't listened to it yet, but looking forward to it. Was going to wait until Jens and Jim are here and all view it at once. You sound like you are one busy girl. Love the photos! Hope you are remembering to take time to rest. Enjoy!
