We've definitely taken advantage of all the trips that our program is putting on for us here. This past Thursday, our director Madeline took probably a hundred of us to a pub outside of Dublin to see some real Irish dancing and some local music. Best part of the night hands down, Mk was pulled onstage to dance with them, pretty sure they were just trying to embarrass her, little did they know she took lessons and competed for 10 years when she was little.
We love taking pictures with bands.
The next day we went to the Guinness storehouse, which was definitely worth the walk in the freezing cold all the way there. You basically walk around a museum dedicated to showing people why Guinness is spectacular and other beers are all a disgrace.
At the top of the storehouse is a 180 degree bar with windows overlooking the entire city of Dublin. Despite the fact that it was packed to capacity with people, it was definitely the best view Ive seen of the city. When you order a Guinness at the bar, the bartenders shape a shamrock into the foam on the top.
After cooking for ourselves for a week, Madeline took us all out to Millstone, and treated us all to a three course meal. Hands down, the most popular soup here is vegetable soup. However, its not a broth soup with vegetables in it, to our surprise its more of like a veggie puree. Delicious though. Also here, they love to wrap everything in bacon, definitely have grown accustomed to that!
