Holy Smokes What Day is It?

No it's fine I'm just friggin' starving to death. I'll remedy that problem as soon as I'm done here. Well I once again did not check to see what I wrote last. I know I haven't posted since maybe before Galway...? Well that city was fun again as we expected and I'm going to miss the gang from the Westside (the guys and gals we stayed with). I am going back to get my towel cause my new one is not nearly as cool. So you guys gotta put it somewhere safe for a year. We had the longest bus ride in recorded history back to Dublin and I didnt sleep a wink because Erica kept me up with her persistent snores. It's very nice being back in the big city especially now that we are comfortable with it and savvy of all the best places to go. Big news: We went to the brewery! It was as necessary as everyone said. You walk into the basement and get jacked up watching the best commercials I've honestly ever scene while waiting in line. Then it's upstairs into the bottom of "the world's biggest pint glass" which takes some imagination and an eye for the abstract to appreciate especially the idea that it could hol like 170,000,000 pints or something crazy. But inside you're surrounded by settling Guiness on a massive wall-to-wall and a lovely voice tells you about how Arthur Guiness is a God and the lease is for 9,000 years and how old the factory is, how it's the first steel beamed structure of it's kind in Western Europe and how it was a p.o.s. when God bought it. Very interesting stuff. Then you walk to the gift shop to rule them all and naturally we each bought bottle openers. Then it's up for a 6 or 7? story walk through "brewing for dummies" with artifacts, tools and visual displays the whole way. Near the top is a memorabilia place and at the top is a free bar. You get one pint. Which I found out at the "it's your choice" exhibit is two beers. We were standing in line and this little old lady comes in way hot and cuts me in line. Then a young bride swings in to cut off Erica. We give the bartender a look and he catches it while pooring many a Guiness and does nothing anyway...jackass. So the two cutters reach him and ask for sprites. What-the-heck? Who does that? Honestly? The worst part is the bartender has to dance over to the soda fountain and poor them which takes him way too long. Once served we enjoy the view of the entire city but can't seem to find a seat. This is when "we need a reward" kicks in with our travel instincts. We go downstairs and have a lovely meal. We're now booked through the UK and will only really see London sadly. That does not make me any less pumped to go! I may be over excited about the ferry ride...I just love ferries. Last night(real quick I got 5) was not koo. We did finally grab a pint at the other Temple Bar in Temple Bar and it was great! Sing-alongs, ice cream after and the very entertaining bicycle hustler! But then I got well, this morning has been a little shaky. Hope to eat lots of vedge! Best of luck to all! Cheers!
