Day 8 (?) Dublin
Hey all from Dublin. Today we went to the Guinness storehouse the number one attraction in Dublin. I've never really had Guinness straight so it was interesting trying it out. I would probably never drink it again but that's b/c I'm not a beer drinker, but it is cool to say I drank it in Ireland. The other times I've had it were in a drop shot called an Irish car bomb on St.Paddy's and my hamburger buns were made with it the night before at the Hard Rock Cafe. We also when to Dublania which is what it would have been like back in medieval times. We also saw Dublin Castle where Michael Collins was filmed and Trinity College. The day before that we saw St. Patrick's Cathedral. Luckily all the things we wanted to see were close together so it was easy to walk compared to London.
I love the Irish accent, but it is rare to hear it. There are a lot of people from all over the country that we come across and not to many authentic Irish. I guess they live all outside of Dublin.
If your reading this Branden we came across a cool comic book store where they had one of the talking realistic Scarface, as well as color Marv and Marv in the electric chair. They also had a bunch of other cool stuff that I would have loved to bought. But I have no bloody room.
Our last night in London we went to see Christian Slater in the production of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, which kicked ass. I'm a big fan of Slater's work so it was totally awesome to see him on stage. I'm also a fan of One Flew so it was bitchin to see it as a play. We also went to the British Library where we saw Shakespeare's first folio, original hand written Beatles lyrics, the Magna Carta, the first copy of Alice in Wonderland, the oldest surviving copy of Beowulf, and an early work by Jane Austin as well as her writing desk. We also went to the tower of London and saw the Crown Jewels. I personally think my family jewels are more impressive. Hehe. I couldn't help myself.
It seems like we have been here longer than eight days, which is a good thing. I'll see how it feels like when i'm half way through. And my calf mussels are like rock, it is so cool touching them. Tomorrow we head to Scotland.
One last thing.... I love mixed dorms :)
