*~*North Whales*~*

The Ferry from Dublin to North Whales was long and restless. My bags took forever to come and boy was I still tried as all hell. After the ferry we to a coach bus to go shopping and eat lunch. Then we headed off to see a real castle. The ride to the castle was an hour and a half but it seemed as if it was 3 hrs. The castle was beautiful it had a lake surrounding it like in fairy tales. I saw my first swan up close and it was so pretty. This castle was attacked my bombs during a war, so everything was pretty much open outside. However the structure that was left looked remarkable. You can see the age in the building. We had a ball exploring the my castle. *wink* ; ) After the castle we hand to drive to the hotel we where going to stay in that evening. Which was another 3 hour ride : (.... By the time we arrive everyone was tired and hungry to death. The Hand Hotel was a very old hotel that didn't even have an elevator. My room was located on the 5Th floor, and of course I didn't pack light so i struggles all the way to room 56. Once everyone settled in there rooms we met up in the lobby. Some of use were excited to go see what the little town has to offer us Americans lol. It was 5 in the evening and it looked like only a hand full of people actually lived in this town. All the stores were closed and had so much dust on the windows that one would think they haven't been opened for years. We finally found a market store I brought a bottle white wine so i could relax in the room. This town gave me the creeps in I wasn't about to go out exploring anymore. I had seen enough of North whales in was ready for London. When we got back to the hotel dinner was ready. They severed chili and beans with white rice and peas. It wasn't that good but I eat it I as starving like Marvin lol. After I went back to my room with my room-mate while the others went hiking in the dark. This is were our night got interesting. April in Liz came back from hiking with some pizza (Damn April was on point lol.) The girls found out the hotel was haunted and we googled the hotel to find out if it was true. Room 28 was the room the lady died in, and guess who stayed in that room our tour guide David. Now I cant go on any further I was sworn to silence. YOU SHOULD HAVE CAME TO FIND OUT. Next Stop LONDON

*MY LIFE IN DUBLIN*

Dublin, Ireland..........

I have stories for days to tell you guys lol, but over all this was a great experience. I was granted the chance to learn a piece of my history. This place has so much history that they kept together. The buildings and houses are so beautiful. I was also amazed at how their president is a women they have had two female presidents both women names are Maria (lol.) The local female within downtown Dublin are some what rude for no damn reason, but I still had a great time parting. On our first night there I tasted my first Guinness beer. Just for you Scott. It was okay I'm not really a beer drinker. We partied in downtown Dublin the area was called Temple Bar.

Temple Bar is like west 27th street in the city btwn 5th and 6th in New York. This is a area that is blocked off to vehicles. Along this strip there are a whole bunch of night clubs, pubs and restaurants. The street where packed because it was St. Pats weekend and people from all over the world were there to party. On St. Pats day we visited St.Patrick's Cathedral then went to visit the Book of Kells. After the tours we went to see the Parade. The Parade was so crowded we couldn't even see it. For miles and miles all you could see is people all over the place hanging off of light poles, sitting on top of statues.Since we couldn't get a glimpse of the parade. April, LBoogie and I left to go to the fair. The fair was fun people were all over the place young and old with smiles a mile away.

After the fair we had to meet up with the group for dinner. For dinner we eat fish and chips as the locals would say. The fish was on the ilk side but the sauce was good. Once dinner was over the Pre-game party was in my room 507 lol. Then we all went out to party like rockstars on St.Pats day. So much fun................
