limerick is beginning to feel like home.
two weekends ago i visited dublin. dublin was not what i expected and more. i'm not sure what i expected honestly. in america when we think of big cities we generally think skyscrapers. the highest point in dublin, according to the people at the guinness factory, is the gravity bar situated at the top of the guinness storehouse.
dublin activities included walking up and down temple bar, perusing street markets, visiting museums, and attending movie screenings. the dublin international film fest was being held during my visit and i saw the irish film board shorts as well as the last station. it was great craic! as they say here in ireland.
my next big trip will be to scotland. i'm visiting a friend who goes to school in stirling, scotland which is just outside of edinburgh. until then i keep myself occupied with school, exploring limerick, and enjoying the mild weather.
construction crews have already started repaving the streets. it's only march, oh the wonderful effects of having no snow. amazing.
p.s.
uachtar reoite means ice cream in irish gaelic in case you were wondering. also, i miss coffee ice cream. apparently, this is an american institution which i will never take for granted again!
