New Friends, New Destinations

Earlier this week Steph and I went out for a few drinks for our friend Ollie's birthday where our list of locals and new friends grew rapidly (having friends outside of work and our household makes us very excited). Not only did I find two Aussies living in Dungarvan for three months (what's better than both my favorite worlds colliding?!) but we discovered that this weekend is the big Ireland Vs France rugby union game in Dublin. So of course what did the little North American explorers decided to do? Yup!! We are catching a bus tomorrow morning and getting into Dublin around 2 p.m. Unfortunately we can't get any tickets to the big match, but we figured what's even better than that? Hanging out with the 'fun people and crowds for the pre-party and after-party. Basically our Saturday will consist of Dublin festivities and rugby conversations. Don't worry, we will quiz each other on the essentials of the game on our lovely 4-hour ride. Oh how I love public transport...aren't you proud of me daddy? No really, he is reading this now and laughing. But hey, if it's my option to get me in a city with nothing to do but eat, drink and shout at the TV like I know what's going on then darn it I love the bus!

So, in effect I will be out of touch until Sunday where you can expect some great pub, sport and Dublin mischief pictures to be posted.

GO GREEN GO!! :)
