Today, we had dinner at the Pig’s Ear and then saw a play at the gorgeous Abbey Theatre. The things we are doing and seeing are fantastic; that goes without saying. But I’m also really loving getting to know everyone that came on this trip and getting to spend time in such a beautiful place with wonderful people. After the play, Jolie, Randall, Sara, Kristen, and I went to a few different pubs. Our first stop was the Whiskey Palace for maybe half an hour, then we walked a few streets over to find another pub. I’m not sure what it was called, but the second pub we went to was amazing. A boy played covers of tons of songs we knew (strangely enough including another Man in the Mirror cover), and we had a great conversation about all of our favorite artists and shows we’ve seen. We also met some Irish men that told us about themselves and their families. A man named Paul taught us some new slang that I still haven’t decided whether or not is appropriate. We stopped to get overpriced hot dogs, fries, and pizza on our way out of the pub to our cab. Our cab driver (also named Paul), was as funny and kind as most of the other people we’ve all met so far on this trip. This picture was taken in a really cool alleyway on our way to the Whiskey Palace. It had photos of novelists and poets lining the walls, and we thought it was as good a place as any to stop for an obligatory selfie. We definitely missed Alex and Harlow!
