Blogs from Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland, Europe - page 100

I'm not one that likes dictating the events of the day or describing the possibly mundane things one would do in a day - that's essentially what teenage blogs are all about. Sometimes I wonder if they ever realise their lives are terribly dull, myopic, and contained! Who actually cares what you had for lunch and in reading back many years down, does it matter if it were Sushi or Cabonara?! But at the request of many friends who seemed sincere about knowing honestly how things are here and how I'm getting along, here's a mundane blog of the things I see, have done and might do. The one for personal reflection still remains but this is in supplement of the more mundane. Hopefully, it'll not be as mundane as some of those I read. I ... read more

I AM VERY NEARLY OUT OF THE 2 MONTH MARK! This is good. according to patri, month 2 is the hardest. Just past the excitment and newness of month one, things settle in, you reconsider all your decisions, over and over.. i agree with her! But its all grand, of course. The fringe festival has had its way this week, and I am an Official volunteer. Not that i´ve done much: tonight will be my 2nd time volunteering.

He was a photographer for the parkour ... read more

Well, the desired 3 hour nap turned into a much needed 6 hour nap and so I took a quick shower and headed into the city via shuttle back to airport to catch the city bus which was 6 Euro round trip.

So we got to Dublin yesterday. Alanna got a few hours of sleep on the flight, but I couldn't sleep a wink. We were exhausted but we were ready to go see the city as soon as we arrived. We ended up walking around, drinking some Guiness, and we watched the Hurling championship between Killkenny & Limrick. It was pretty festive out, with lots of people in green & white or yellow & black. Unfortunately for Aiofe, Limrick didn't win. a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c178/wkeithsutton/IMG_0066.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"/a Here's Alanna and I in the Temple Bar area Here we are with TJ and Natasha enjoying our first Guiness.
