That is what our german leader says to us every time we go somewhere. Dublin is fabulous, Irish people are awesome. Last night we met a few Irish guys and they are very interesting to talk too. Two walked us home which was good because some crazy drugged lady and her male partner came up to us and got in our faces. It was scary. Especially because one tried to kick me, but Allen (one of the Irish guys we were with) grabbed her foot and she fell backwards. She followed us the whole way back to the hotel...its like they say though, nothing good happens after midnight. Besides that though, every other Irish person we met has been awesome, except the guy at the bar that kept trying to kiss us. He had red hair though so maybe he was a leprechaun.

We went to a local restaurant that had this great Irish food, traditional Irish dancers and a band. It was great. It was also the first time I was able to order drinks. Yay me! We toured the Guiness store house and saw how Guiness was made and got a free sample...not a big fan but it was still really cool to see. I talked to a girl there with a Pitt sweatshirt on which was kinda neat. Toured a old closed jail where a lot of important Irish prisioners were held in the past and where a lot of modern movies and tv shows are filmes. I thought it was awesome, but you know me, love the crime. We went on various tours of the city and heard multiple lectures, some interesting and some not, but its cool to learn more about Dublin than just where the bars are. Although we went to a place called Temple Bar which of course was my first real bar. Also very cool, they had performers and a lot of people, we met some Norwegians there as well as other Americans. We have had a lot of fun there.
My feet kill though from all the walking we have done and there are still four days left. Tonight is our last night in Dublin and then tomorrow its off to Belfast where hopefully I can get a phone since it is the English part of the country.
