Day 72 3/23/12

Today is Friday! I had class in the morning but who cares about that. After class I was heading to Ireland with Jordan and Vikki and Krista was going to meet us tomorrow. It was mostly a traveling day and in total it was about 7 hours. We did have some problems with our trains. The first train we almost missed but it turns out that someone got sick and they had to find a replacement and that took 15 minutes. Not a big deal unless you had another train to catch and you only had a 10 minute period to catch it. Yea, the three of us were freaking out a bit. They told us that we would be able to make the next train. The second train almost left us. If we didnt run as fast as we did we would have missed it. Then after that train we took a ferry and it was a pretty big ferry and that was about an hours ride. Soon enough we were in DUBLIN, IRELAND! It was night time of course maybe around 8ish pm since we had left around noon and it was a 7 hour traveling day. We attempted to find out hostel after taking the bus from the ferry to the bus station. We asked some older gentlemen who noticed we were lost and asked if they could help. They suggested we took a cab because it would be hard to find unless you know the area. We took a cab and it was only 9 Euros between the 3 of us which was not bad at all. We settled into the hostel and then went to find out a pub to eat dinner at and figure out what we would do for tomorrow. Found a pub named Temple bar and ate there. I tried my first and last Guinness there.... Yuck..... But I did finish it! Then we went back to the hostel to look up more details for what we wanted to do and then we went to bed because we were exhausted!
