Hope everything is still well across the ocean and the Ebola hasn't gotten a hold on you yet! Just thought I'd give an update on this past weekend while I have a free minute a work. I won't tell anyone if you don't. Anyway, Friday night we went out to a bar called The Capitol Lounge which is famous for is €5 cocktails. Needless to say we all had a grand night. Saturday was a lazy day and I never even made it out bed except to walk down to my friends house to have a movie marathon! Sunday though we planned to travel to County Wicklow for a hike. My friends and I took the DART down to Dalkey to meet up with some of our school friends. We had chartered a bus to take us but we soon realize that said bus was never going to show up! We called the driver multiple times and he ignored us! Instead of having the day ruined, we decided to hike on Dalkey Hill and Kilney Hill, slightly smaller mountains. It was a vigorous workout, with incredible views from the top (see Facebook). After the journey up and down the mountain, we were all very hungry and decided to swing through Dun Laoghaire to go to the farmers market in the People's Park for lunch. We did some browsing and then returned to Rathmines for a nap! In the evening I mustered up all of the energy I had left and walked down to the local pub to meet up with some of the bartenders there. We have become great friends and they invited me and some others to go to Oktoberfest Dublin! It was great craic with a live band and lots of German beer. It was the last night of the festival so right before they closed they were giving out the rest of the beer for free! Afterwards we went to Workmans Pub and ended the night on a relaxing note. I was very excited to have the opportunity to go to Dublin's Oktoberfest because I couldn't make it out to the real one in Munich courtesy of some academic obligations! It was a grand time singing and dancing along with my Irish friends. They certainly know how to have a good time here in Ireland.
This week at work should be interesting in the Parliament as it's the last week before the By-Election that my Senator is in! I'l let yous know how it goes!
Have a nice week everyone.
From Dublin, With Love.
