Right now I’m sitting in the Guiness Storehouse. This morning I got a bit at breakfast, then we visited Kilmainham Gaol, a very old Dublin jail that housed many prisoners punished for fighting for independence. It was more history lesson than tour, but I enjoyed hearing about the history. Then we headed over to here, where we took a tour and got our free pint. We have about an hour before the bus leaves again for a four hour drive to Galway.

The afternoon was quite nice. I finagled a solo seat on the bus, so I got to nap, and generaly just take in the scenery.

Our hotel is great – not quite lush, but fair. And right across from the bay, so it’s very lovely. I’m sleeping with the window open so I can hear the water and smell the air.

I’ve found a couple of girls to hang out with – both Aussies. Tonight we went into Galway and got a good dinner at the Brown Basket, then took in dancing at King’s Head Pub.
