The many different drunken sides of Ireland....

Hello! It is sooo exciting here...

I arrived Wednesday morning to a pouring city and arrived frazzled and with frizzy hair to my hostel like 2 hours later. ANYONE that knows me knows that I am super stupid when it comes to directions and generally too proud to ask for directions. So I didn't. Until an hour later after walking many street multiple times. The streets here are CRAZY. They all change into different names along the same road like 5 times within 3 blocks......

I've only got 8 minutes left on this computer so I'm typing like mad.... ignore spelling mistakes or I shall probably put an irish curse on you. I'm kidding, I don't know any irish curses.....

I do know one cool story though....
I went to Dublin castle today and went on a guided tour with a girl and two guys I met from my hostel (americans! BLECK! haha). So anyway, we went on a guided tour (cheesy, I know) through the huge amazing castle and the tour guide pointed out this insane huge carved and decorated table that took this Irish prisoner 7 years to make. Supposedly prisoners sometimes would make gifts for the English queen and if she liked the gift she would keep it and grant the prisoners a royal pardon....

So he presented it and she didn't like it... In the 1800's Ireland was going through a spiritual exploration phase, hypnotism and etc.... The queen assumed that a spiral in the middle of the table was supposed to hypnotize her into freeing the prisoner so she refused the gift and granted the prisoner 4 more years in gaol...

Ick, eh?

Well my time is about to run out... More later today, or tomorrow!

PS: IRELAND IS AMAZING!

Pictures to come.....
