So my first Saturday in Dublin was spent walking around city centre for, well, probably a total of four hours. I should be more familiar with the city now and I should have gotten some shopping done while I was there, but no dice. Eventually I may know how to get around, and eventually I may purchase some pots to cook my food in, but until then I'm just confused and hungry.
After a long afternoon of walking around we watched part of the ND football game, and I'm sad to say they don't look much better then last year. We ended up not watching most of the second half because we had to catch the last train out of the city, so overall, a long day, but not much to show for it.
Sunday I experienced my first hurling game. We walked to a small pub in Blackrock to watch Kilkenny take on Waterford. It was very violent and hard to follow, but somewhat exciting (unlike this blog entry, however, tomorrow marks my first day of classes here in Dublin, so maybe there will be more to say then...)

Definitely the most thrilling blog entry yet!
Sea cows?????
Sea cows don't live in Northern Europe.
They're either grey seals or common seals.

P.S. The irish language is known as "Irish".
Ask a good few locals about the Irish language and Gaelic to fully understand all the overtones and undertones of NOT making a distinction.
PPS The Irish Sea is know universally as the "Irish Sea" EXCEPT if you are in the oil industry when it becomes the "Celtic Sea"
