The train station in Maynooth is small, and the trip we took to Dublin on Saturday took about 25 minutes.
Here we are waiting patiently at the station!
Meagan and I on the luxurious train.
There were these tall puppet men in the middle of the city doing skits, and the horse men gave me a balloon they had. They tied the balloon holder in a knot, handed it to me, and when I took it they shouted "She accepted!" I gave it to a little boy I saw later on in the city.
These puppet men were loud and hit each other with sticks a lot. They were trying to play stick ball.
The girls in front of a castle!
Another castle.
Me taking a picture of...
....this castle.
We thought that this sign was hilarious because it was
so graphic!
At a campus in Dublin.
More of the campus.
A beautiful church we explored.
I LOVE the doors in Ireland. They are all different bright colors consistently throughout the city. There are postcards and other memorabilia dedicated solely to the doors of Ireland.
To top off the night, this man gave us a ride in a horse carriage through Dublin for half price! His horse was named Lucy, and he told us about different music festivals in the city.
Here we are on our buggy ride: Me, Alayne, and Megan.

This looks so fun! I like the giant puppet men who dance and beat each other. We don't have very much stuff like that at law school.
ReplyDeleteNeat! I love the puppet men story...I would have been afraid of them! Looks like you're having a blast already.
ReplyDeleteOk now I'm ready for a post about classes, your flatmates, and the food you're eating and the grocery store you're using.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we could arrange an international match between giant Irish puppet men and giant Taiwanese puppet dragons. You get field hockey sticks and we get oversized chopsticks as weapons.
ReplyDeletePS: Styrofoam forgot to mention that we want to hear all about the Irish boys who are surely just as enamored with you as you are with their castles.
