Grr. . .argh

Yeah; I have major computer issues. I'm going to try to sort it out tomorrow so that I can post some more photos. Trying to use the wireless internet gives me the blue screen of death.

Tuesday I walked for about 8 hours exploring the city of Dublin. I went to Trinity College and saw the book of Kells, the National Museum and the gardens and the National Library, pretty much all over the place once I figured out the street signs are on the buildings.

Yesterday I took a day trip to Wicklow county and a town named Glendalough. We went up through the mountains outside of Dublin and stopped at lakes and waterfalls and peat bogs. It was absolutely beautiful.


The last two nights I've gone to the Temple Bar which is just about 15 steps away from my hostel. The music is to die for. I keep meaning to go to bed earlier but I just can't leave.

The Guinness here is nothing like home. If Guinness in the states tasted half this good I would become a die hard fan. The drinks are really expensive though, a pint is the equivalent of about $8.

Today I am going to take the DART to a fishing village, the port and then walk the rest of the city that I haven't seen. Tomorrow I will likely go on the Guinness factory tour, mail some things back to the states and try to figure out my computer issue before hopefully hitting the sack pretty early. I need to take a 3:30 am bus to the airport for my hop over to Paris.

The people in the hostel have been pretty great so far. I've made acquaintence with a women from Indianapolis who is on week 8 of an 11 week trip. They've helped me figure out which subways to take in Paris and given me the low down on costs etc. I also now know that I will get lost in London but that's okay because I will find everything while wandering :)

peace, sfw
