There isn't really a "great" reason why I'm on the internet while in a foreign country, so I'll just chalk it up to jetlag. But hello from Dublin! I really wish that I could upload some pictures to post, but that will just have to wait until I come back. I also would like to post some SF pictures.

I just wanted to say hi~ it took awhile for "being in Dublin" to hit me, and I'm not even sure it really has yet. It's kind of just like traveling to any other "unknown" area, but I'm sure in the next few days as we do more sightseeing, it'll sink in more. I'm staying in a hostel (first time ever!) and did a little walking around. But I haven't been sleeping much, and trying to sleep on the plane wasn't fantastic, so we're going to get a good night sleep before traveling to Howth and Malahide tomorrow. I'm glad I have a whiskey drinking partner along, because I thought that it would be lonely journey for me. Not that the objective is to be shitfaced all the time. Plus, everything is expensive here. AND they charge you for mixed drinks twice. (Once of the liquor, once for the coke) or three times, in the case that I got two "dashes" of something. Bullshit I call, but hey.. I will be doing a lot of "on the rocks". Here's another tip for you: don't order seafood in Dublin. I thought seafood was supposed to be "good" in Ireland, but apparently only on the coasts, not in Dublin. And don't go to a place called Copper Faced Jacks - unless you want to be felt up and sleazed all over on the regular. (The last bit is speaking from hearsay, not experience... The seafood one: trust me.)
