I'm soo excited. It's down in Australia and actually in the same town..no more like same neighborhood as last time... How silly is that!! But I'm super stoked!!
So this weekend Jen and Joe and the kids all went down to Cork for the weekend...so I had the house to myself!! I still just stayed in my room. I have been starting to pack cause I only have like 2 1/2 weeks left and I have to get rid of some clothes :/
I was bored and I had a revelation and needed a change for all this fun stuff coming up...so I dyed my hair bright red!! Woo hoo. Yay. I love fun hair and not boring natural hair..I'm surprised I held out for so long!
So I had Monday off as well, since they were still in Cork. So I thought I would go into Dublin and do some sight seeing junk.
I got to town around noon and met up with ibis girl I had met the week earlier from Australia. She was super sweet so we went to lunch and then just walked around and went shopping. While we were headed to a store the road was blocked off and all these people were gathered around and we were all thinking...what in the world is going on...and we were annoyed cause we had to walk all the way down the street and then up and around to get to the store....while we were at the other end I asked someone what was going on...the Obamas are in town and are supposed to be walking down this street! Woohoo...I mean that's cool but I'm not gonna stand around waiting lol. So we keep walking and get right to the store and then this guy stops us..I was thing oh brother I just wanna shop. Then I look to my right and there's Barrack with a bunch of guards and then I look to my left and here comes Michelle and the girls...like 2 ft away from us and I was like "Hi". And she looks at me and says "Hello" and keeps walking. I was in shock...I could of literally reached out and touched her. It was so funny all these ppl waiting to see her and I'm all right there with her muhaahhaahhaha. It was pretty cool!
So after some more shopping my friend had to go home, which is cool I went todo some cheesy touristy stuff. I went to Trinity collage...I was gonna see the Book of Kells but it was to late, oh well I didn't care that much.
After that I wanted to go to Dumblina or the Guinness factory but they were ll closed for tourist by this point :( so instead I walked all the way across town and even further to go to the Glasnevin cemetery.
It's the oldest and biggest cemetery in Ireland! It was absolutely amazing!! I am so glad it was after hours and there was no tour groups or anything. I had so much fun just walking around and it went on and on and on. There is supposedly 1.5 million ppl buried there.
The tombs and huge headstones were amazing for there time. I seriously thought it was the coolest place. I so wish my mommy was there to see it too!!
After this I was just walking around on the older side of town that I haven't spent much time at...there's lots of cool churches and building right in town!
So all in all I had a fun day, I will have to go back next week so I can do those other things!
Only a week til Brussels!! Yay!
