Today was an amazing day. Today I really felt like I got to experience Dublin. This picture is of my dinner that I had at Sprouts before the Literary Pub Crawl. This day was especially special because for one it did not rain. The class this morning I found particularly intriguing because we were talking about animal ethics behind the Natural History Museum. As a vegan, I am pretty knowledgable about animal ethics and animal rights. I almost found this concept to be a “place” for me. Even though a discussion topic is not a physical being I find it interesting that even something such as a concept can be a place for me. It becomes a place when it’s something I can relate to and something I feel I connect on an extremely deep level. This picture ties into this as this is the best vegan meal I’ve had since I’ve been here. The pub crawl afterwards was really fun, as I had odd encounters with every bar tender. I really felt like I got the whole Dublin City experience like the boys in Dubliners. I think the difference between my experiences and theirs comes down to the fact that I am older than them and more mature, so I did not end up having this unrealistic magical views, and I also already live in the city. Today was an exceptionally good day, I did a lot of shopping, drank a lot of good beer, and ate the most amazing food.
