Ireland

So I email my parents to say hello from Ireland...my dad's response was the following:

"Gretch: you need to update your blog...everyone is asking. "

Hahaha. Here it is DAD! Hilarious. Ireland is beautiful, duh. We have gone around the entire island and met lots of amazing people. It has been a nice distraction. We started in Dublin and are back for a couple nights. Our flight is on Tuesday and I am actually a tad bit happy to be going back to America. If for no other reason than the dollar sucks.

We went to Belfast- talk about intense. Then we stayed in County Donegal, in a little town, Dunfanaghy. From there we headed to Galway for a few days. After Galway, Cork. From Cork we headed to Kilkenny. We got to Dublin last night and we are SICK of buses. Tomorrow we are doing a tour of Wicklow.

Last night we went to a comedy show and I laughed hard. Then we headed to a pub where a man tried to steal my purse. I proceeded to walk up to him, start random conversation and then asked him why he was trying to steal my purse. He just gave me a blank look and walked away quickly. It was a very satisfying moment to say the least. Amanda and Chris got a good laugh out of it because they didn't know that I had gone over to call him out. I think I found my new path in life...fighting petty crime one pub at a time. The Guiness is just amazing here (I may or may not have gained 25 pounds from it) haha.

I am going to go now, euros don't grow on trees and internet cafes are not cheap! I look forward to seeing people, at least briefly while I am home.

2 more days...
