So we went on the Guinness propaganda tour today. I have to say, after 2 hours of hearing how perfect Guinness is, I still don't like it. Though it is way better here than in the States (still bad, though).
Yesterday, we went to go pay homage to Mr. Wilde. His house was closed down, but his statue was still there, so we hung out around it and acting snarky. We also went in the National Gallery of Ireland and wandered around Temple Bar area.
Confession: we did the math and we've done four cities/countries in five days. We're exhausted. It's awful. Thank God we're spending three days here in Dublin, I don't think we could move again tomorrow.
In other news: the idiots who make these determinations have moved my flight back to the US (Freedom!) up 16 hours and left me with a 12 hour layover in NEWARK. This has such catastrophic potential. And, since I'm abroad (shocker), I can't get them on the phone to fix it. So, I'll have to fly out at midnight, start whining at anyone who'll listen to me in Newark to see if I can get my flight bumped up, and then basically seeing how the wind will take me. Stupid gas shortage!
On a happier note: we're probably off to the Dublin Writer's Museum (yes, we're geeks, don't judge us!) and then perhaps St. Patrick's Cathedral. We're taking Dublin at a kind of half speed, but that's all that's keeping us from collapsing.
Cheers!
