Ireland

Haven't talked anyone on here in about two weeks! I am of course still having the time of my life here in Europe. Wednesday evening we left for Ireland. It's the most fun place in the world (besides London). We went to the Temple Bar, which is the most famous bar in Ireland, and then woke up the next morning for the St. Patrick's Day parade! I haven't seen so much green in my life! Good thing it's my favorite color :) We were all decked out in our green faces, shirts, eye shadow, hats, everything you could think of! We couldn't really see the parade because of the crowd, but just being in the atmosphere was great. Then we went to the closest bar and had our first beer of the day to celebrate! Everyone was crazy there...I guess words cannot express Ireland really. Me and my friends Michelle, Amanda, and Megan went on a carnival ride...we all probably looked like leprechauns up in the air hahaha.
Eventually, we went back to our hostile to get ready to go out again. We went to a pub/club and danced the night away with the Irish. They are probably the nicest people you will ever meet in your life. They are inviting and love talking to everyone! It made our time easy going and fun.
The next morning, we got on a bus and took about a 30 minute ride out into the country to see the scenery. It was absolutely beautiful. I ate my lunch beside a like with green mountains in the background. I would love to go back in the summer when all the trees are bloomed, but it was still pretty!
On our way back to the center of Dublin, we stopped at the Guinness Factory. I don't like Guinness, so it wasn't that interesting for me. But at the end of the tour, which is at the top of a building, you can get a free beer and then see all of Dublin from really high up. It was relaxing and fun listening to the Irish music.
And again we went back to the hostile to get ready to go out again! This time we went to a local Irish Pub and had the biggest meals of our lives. I didn't stay out too late because I was exhausted.
We left this morning around 11:30, but we got up early enough to go buy souvenirs.
Now I'm back in my flat in London, and I can't say that I can complain! It's like taking a vacation while already on vacation. Finals week is coming up though, so I guess I will have to spare a few nights of going out to stay in and do homework.

I keep trying to post pictures...but it's freezing and takes about 2 hours to upload 20 pictures. I am going to try and figure something out, but until then sorry about not having them!!!!
