Day 5.

So I got to Ireland about 5 days ago and it really is pretty fantastic. We've had some pretty crazy adventures already with some interesting people but for the most part, everyone here is really very lovely. They actually love to talk to us, especially the older folk. It is a great experience. This country is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous, THE most gorgeous, green land I've only dreamed about. Definitely worth coming here. It has stayed partly cloudy for us most of our stay so far and the sun has even come out some. So when we went to the cliffs by Hook lighthouse in wexford, and the sun was shining, it was a brilliant sight. Pictures do not do it justice.Way too beautiful to be real.

Top adventure so far, we almost got mugged the first day by this old cracked out woman asking for money on the bus stop. Well asking is not exactly what she was doing. It was more like cornering people and mumbling to them at the bus stop. WAY too close for comfort. Me and Beth almost had to go Spartan and kick her in the chest. She started mocking us and following us past the bus stop but we walked away as did some of the locals because this was obviously not normal here. This boy was nice enough to lead us to another bus stop but we ended up walking because the bus didn't come soon enough. We got home soaking wet because of rain. YAY! But it really was interesting. I've tasted pub food which is to die for. I've been to a little bistro in town. I've bought a few clothes and some of the clothes here are really cute! Depends on where you go! Penney's was my favorite place to go there but everything closes pretty early...at 6 so it was hard to stay long anywhere... They had a forever 21 vibe with about the same prices. There were also some cute little thrift finds downtown too, where old Irish folk loved to talk to us about our stay here. There are some great laughs to find in the people here, that's for sure.

We met some younger locals too and I exposed to them my "weirder side" right off the bat but they seemed to have fun with us. They called me "mad but a brilliant mad" and we tried speaking in each other's accents and that was super fun. I would be happy if I could do that every night. The country and the people seem fantastic. I'm going to see a play tonight with the theater group. Stephen King's Misery? Should be good or at least interesting. More adventures to come. :)
