Picture of the monkey when we were walking around, trying to find food.
We walked all around and, finally, I gave in. He was cranky and tired and I didn't blame him. This was one of the battles that I chose not to fight anymore and we headed into McDonalds. The crew there was wearing shirts that either said something in Irish Gaelic or said "My boss is a clown." Who wouldn't want that shirt?! The meal itself was a little expensive but not too bad; around $14 for a Happy Meal and a 6 piece value meal. Nick and I decided to go upstairs and sit on the 2nd level. There was a mother and her 3 kids right behind us and the little boy was playing with his toy which flies. All of a sudden it came and hit Nick on the head, not too hard but it was noticable. The lady apologized many times but, since Nick wasn't hurt, I thought it was really cool to have an interaction with an Irish family like that.
Below are more pictures of the sites when we were touring Dublin.
A Bailey's sign for a certain person who loves the drink (and you know who you are)!
The River Liffey.
The bird Nick insisted that I take a picture of.
And the reminder to always look left for oncoming traffic (as a pedestrian of course).
We took the bus back to the hotel and were able to sit in the upper section; Nick was so excited!
Once we arrived back at the hotel, we were able to check into our room and bring the luggage up. I promptly tried to use my adaptor/converter and forgot to plug in the converter and fried my surge protector. When we left the next day, it still smelled fried. *blech*
Nick and I were both quite exhausted so we opted to have dinner at the hotel and were evel able to take it up to our room in order to relax.
Below are some pictures of the view from our hotel room.
How is your head, Nick? Did that woman apologize? Nick, this is your Aunt Diana saying you need to listen to your mother and you need to eat Irish food! I promise, you will love it. There are lots of meat and potatoes in Irish food. I want to see more pictures. Miss you and love you! Diana
ReplyDeleteThose are some nice pictures and looks like some beautiful country. Wish I was there with you!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the blub in the last picture? Looks more like a spaceship on my blackberry.
Hope you are having a good time over there!
Lol. When the heck did Ireland start driving on the left side of the road? When I was there in 2003 it was on the right side? Very strange. I remember the River Liffy... fond memories. :) Well I love you both and am glad to hear that things are going well. It's fun to be able to read all about your many misadventures. Whoops! I mean adventures. :P
ReplyDeleteI think your memory is going, Erin-the-head. Are you going to take your computer now that you've seen how easy it is to blog?
ReplyDeleteLeft Behind - It's a bird that flew in the way right as I took the picture. I liked seeing him there so I put that picture up. =)
