After sleeping like a log, I awoke and freshened up a bit and got ready for the day. Alex, Max, and I went to Lidl to get groceries. At one point, this little old lady came up to me and asked where the cleaning wipes were. I told her I didn’t know, and she said, “You don’t clean, do ya?” I felt really bad, but I had just walked into the store (╥﹏╥). Anyway, after we got back, us plus Ash and Paula went out to go get something to eat, which led us to Grafton Street, where we ate at the Rolling Doughnut, which apparently is a chain, but the Doughnuts tasted good enough I couldn’t tell.

After that, we popped into a record store really quickly, which had a lot of cool knick-knacks. The shopkeeper gave us a few tips about how to pronounce Howth and told us about a cool fairy forest in County Wicklow with a medieval cemetery, I’m going to check it out! We made our way to the CEA building for our walking tour of Dublin. We learned so many interesting and cool things about Theobald Wolfe Tone, the easter rising, the Castle of Dublin, the famine, and so much more! Afterwards, a much larger group of us went to Grafton Street again. We got caught up at a cool little shopping center, however, it was closing right as we got there, but I definitely want to go back afterwards We went to Grafton Street, which was also mostly closed. We ended up going to O’Donoghue’s where I got my first Guinness!
A lot bitter than I thought it was going to be, but overall, very good. We got some food and now I’m here typing this. Amazing first full day in Ireland. I look forward to the print museum tomorrow, and I found this mysterious print twice around the city I scanned it, and it keeps taking me to the Red Walk right outside of Gork. Will I go? Stay tuned to find out!
