We got lots of pictures then headed back to the hostel to pick up the boys who had slept in. We stopped at Carroll's on the way and did all of our shopping because we were heading back anyways. I got a leprechaun hat with a beard - oh yes I did! Woot!
We met everyone back at the hostel and then headed to the Writer's Museum.
A few of us didn't want to pay the money so we left to find something to eat. I finally got my first subway sandwich! Yahoo! We walked around trying to find a place for everyone else to eat and ended up at this diner. I just ate my sandwich haha I apparently struggle though because I looked down and mayo had fallen on my camera so I had to clean that up. We then just walked around. We went to this store called Pennies (the Irish version of Primark, I'm pretty positive they are sister stores) and I found some ties to get freaking missionaries off my back. We then decided we wanted to walk to the ocean haha the river leads to the ocean so we just walked along the river. The was a huge, random rain storm that got us all soaked but it was fun. We kept walking but it never took us to the ocean so we just turned around haha
We got back to the hostel, said we were meeting at 6:30 at the pizza place down the street, then my room all fell asleep. I woke up at 6:33 and we hurried downstairs. We couldn't find anyone. We passed Lora and Camille and they told us that everyone was across the river already pub hopping. Sam and I were very annoyed haha but it was just a misunderstanding. We walked around and looked for them for a while. We ended up grabbing some pizza at Papa John's because Cassidy and I were starving then we just headed back to meet up with Shelby and Jess for dessert. We went to Eddie Rocket's for shakes again and when we were walking to our table, we found everyone! Haha it was all just a misunderstanding and I was just glad we found them. I got another chocolate brownie shake and we stayed and talked for a while. We went back to the hostel and tried to book this bus tour that would take us to the countryside, where P.S. I Love You was filmed and Braveheart. The online booking was closed so we called them and the guy was really nice! He said he had exactly six seats left of the bus which was perfect because there were six of us going. We got it all booked. I was nervous about the money, it was €25 but when I talked to my mom, she brought up how I'll probably never have the opportunity again and make the memories so I did it. The guy on the phone said that in case we went out tonight and got drunk and didn't make it, if we could call him that would be great but then he was like but don't do that because you're going to have a great time tomorrow (imagine all of this in an amazing Irish accent) haha so we were all excited about that. A few of us (Sam, Kasee, Brandon, Shelby, Cassidy, and I) decided we were in Ireland and didn't want to waste the night in the hostel so we went pub crawling. The first one we went to, there were security guards checking our IDs. I showed one of them mine and he asked (again in an Irish accent) do you have any drugs on ya? I said no... Then he said well do you want some? Haha I was like um ya no I'm good thanks. Shelby forgot her ID so we weren't going to stay and leave her outside but the security guards were going to let her in but just give her a little grief first. They pushed us all inside then were like you have to give me a kiss on the cheek before we let you in but she showed her her ring and said I'm engaged and they were like ugh ok fine haha we stayed there for a while but we wanted actual Irish traditional music. So we walked around and found a sign saying traditional Irish music... So we went in and the guy was amazing! He played like the longest song on the fiddle and banjo with a lot of improv but it was amazing! There was a guy at the bar completely drunk trying to keep rhythm with the music but was completely failing. We left that bar and went to the famous Temple Bar Pub. The music there was mostly like oldie stuff with a few Mumford and Irish stuff. It was way fun! The guy next to me in the doorway was also very drunk and kept slamming his hand on the door. We just knew that when he wakes up tomorrow morning he is going to be like what the heck happened to my hand?! There was a scary lady that looked like Ursula that was also very drunk that kept tipping her cup and I was very nervous I was going to get her drink spilt on me. We headed to a few other pubs, we ended with one guy playing cotton-eyed joe which made me happy haha it was just so fun being part of the night life. I really wanted to order a water but I knew they probably couldn't hear me and would've given me some weird drink instead so I just didn't haha it was so fun though! I'm very glad we went out and did it.
We got home around 11:30, got ready for bed, then I watched the Parent Trap while falling asleep. I hope everyone has a great day! Good luck to my family who is driving to Vegas. Love you!
