I stayed up until 3:30 talking, watching dance videos and dancing a bit of Forro. Ah-mazing. ;)
I was awoken at 10am to get ready to go on a walk around the city with the Brazilian twins!! :-P They showed me all around Dublin, pointing out the big cathedrals (like St. Patricks), the pubs (like Temple) and Grafton St. - the main shopping street. We crossed the river and they told me about the big statue that replaced the one that they demolished that represented England. We went to buy little presents for the Secret Santa gift exchange tonight and we listened to some surprisingly good music on the streets. We bought lots of beer (and I bought a Mixed Fruit Cider that the girl recommended!). I even got an Irish squished penny!
But the most amazing thing... by far... was seeing a VW Bug, with the steering wheel on the other side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to find a yellow bug like that and start taking millions and millions of pictures of it!!!!!!!!!
And that has been the day so far. Hanging out with Brazilians makes me miss Brazil. I am surprised how much Portuguese I can understand, considering the last time I used it was two years ago. It is all making me seriously consider moving to Brazil for three months after my program is up in July... hmmm...
More later!
XOXO
