An Irish Saturday.

Today was amazing! I do not want to leave on monday! We took the bus into the city center and found a great little coffee shop where we had amazing muffins and! an actual cup of coffee!!!!! I havn't had a normal cup of coffee since I left. For some reason it just doesnt exist, but I guess it does here! After fueling up we walked to Trinity College, which is absolutely gorgeous!!! They have this piece of art outside of their Berkley Library and there is a replica at UC Berkley as well as at the vatican so I had already seen it, but I thought it was cool. Then we got to see the Book of Kells which was especially amazing to see as I JUST learned about it in my art of the Anglo-Saxons and Celts module (class). We then got to walk through their older library, which was a GIGANTIC room filled with over 200,000 hundreds of year old books. We walked from Trinity to temple bar which was a fun place to go in some shops and pubs and eventually ended up on a tour bus and got off at the Guinness Stockroom. It was a really fun tour and ended with a free pint of Guinness. After asking a few people we ended up finding our way to a traditional Irish restaurant and I had chicken and ham, but I think the chicken was filled with white pudding...I dont know what that is and honestly I dont want to. Well we are back in the hotel now and have a wake up call for 7:30am because of the time change. Ew. Well Im excited for another day of romping in Ireland!!!
