Goodbye Dublin, Ireland


Me, John Martin, and Riona selling teddy bears and displaying the diamond necklace auctioned off for charity.

This is my last day here in Dublin, I cant believe my time here is nearly exhausted. I chose to show this random picture of the Dublin Central President's Ball because I just realized I never talked about it, and it was a cool night. Anyway, today has been kinda chilled. I finished my research at Trinity, just in time too. If i had waited until today instead of yesterday to go to the manuscripts department, i would have been very disapointed casue they shut down that side of the library so the Australian Prime Minster could visit the Book of Kells and the long room. But, i was on the other side, in early printed books, so i was ok. Then isobel, dee, and I ate lunch in the Powerscourt center, then back to the library to finish up, then isobel and I met andrew at Eddy Rockets for my goodbye dinner. Not the healthiest choice, but that's where Andrew and I went the first night i moved in, so it has nostalgic value. Then we went to the Bull & Castle, our 'local' and had a great pint of guiness before heading back to the flat where we are enjoying a great lineup of television. I'm all packed up and heading to the airport tomorrow morning around 7:30. I hope the day is well for traveling cause its been rainy and cold here for around a week. Bon Voyage Dublin!
