Dublin

I was going to write a few days ago, but I looked and realized that I had written as many times in September already as I had in total in August, so I took a break. Anyway, on my last day in Galway I took a tour to see the Burren (ice age rocky mountains) and the Cliffs of Moher, where every year a few people die because they are blown off the edge. Basically, there's close to the edge and then there are signs you're not supposed to walk past, and if it's really windy, don't walk past the signs and you're good. There was a play being put on in Galway by the Druid company that I really wanted to see - Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night - which I thought I was going to miss because it didn't start until the day that I left. However, during a quiet moment on the tour I read the brochure again and realized that the play was showing previews leading up and the last one was that night and so when I stopped by the theatre after my tour there was only one ticket left - one ticket for the one me. And it was an awesome play! And I'm so glad I got a chance to see it.
My first few days in Dublin were pretty chill, just kind of wandered around and looked at some stuff. I haven't ventured too far North of the Liffey yet, but I'm still here for a while, so that's okay. I did get my ass up to the Guinnes Storehouse today and went through the self-guided tour and got my free pint and picked up a few things.
Here still until late Tuesday, so we'll see what I get up to, and then I head off to Scotland :D. The Aussie girls in my room invited me downstairs for a drink tonight, and downstairs is just the tv/games/drinking room so I've got to stop at the store on my way back and pick up some boozes.
Cheers!

Just wondering, by Liffey, did you mean the river or the Pub???
