This morning we woke up after yet another interesting night in the hostel. Friday nights are funny because the hostel was completely empty because everyone left to go and get beer. This morning was interesting because everyone was still in bed as we were packing to leave because they were all hung over. It was great fun. We only had half a day today, so we went to the Natural History museum, the Archaeology museum, Dublin Castle and another bus tour. It was a lot at once but it was great to get in a few more adventures before going back. I also had to make a quick stop by the chocolate shop to get my third hot chocolate (one from every day). I will miss you Sweetest Thing Hot Chocolate! Oh, and you too Ireland!
Really, the moment I got back to the center it felt so great. As great as my Ireland adventure was, it's nice to be back to this great building. Our flight went well and we managed to travel back without any problems, which can't be said for some of the other people. London has exploded with tourists since we have been come. The Olympics craze is getting bigger and I don't know if London transport is ready for that yet. It should be interesting to see what the next few weeks have in store. And now to the pictures, featuring more than I probably should have posted. The internet here may now explode. Whoops. (Please note that I am wearing my hoody in every photo, since it was much cooler in Ireland and was raining almost every single day. It was wonderful).
On the James Joyce bridge. Hooray for Dublin.
A cool random orb at Trinity College. I couldn't resist.
Leaping Leprechauns!
Drinking the amazing hot chocolate. YUM YUM YUM!

After Evensong at St. Patrich's Cathedral
This one is for mom. My friend the sloth at the Natural History museum. Teehee.
Even posting thirteen photos I still don't feel like I shared all I want! So much happened but there is only so much this poor internet can do. I will have to share all the fun photos when I get home I suppose. there are many more to see! And now I might just relax for a bit!




Ireland looks like something right out of Lord of the Rings . . . at least as far as greenery is concerned. I'm so glad you made it back to London safe and sound, and I'm especially glad that you found a sloth just for me. Did you cry when you saw it? It looks like a very happy sloth to me :0).
