Everyone give it up for day two, the first official day of the trip. Am I posting this two days late, yes. I will talk about why in my Day 3 post. Stay Tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start the day, I got a Matcha and a raspberry jelly doughnut from this company called The Rolling Doughnut. It was an amazing doughnut and I kinda wanna go back. I went there with Paula, E, Max, and Alex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/pointparksocstudent.com\/Internationalmedia\/Ireland2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pointparksocstudent.com\/Internationalmedia\/Ireland2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/pointparksocstudent.com\/Internationalmedia\/Ireland2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/pointparksocstudent.com\/Internationalmedia\/Ireland2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/pointparksocstudent.com\/Internationalmedia\/Ireland2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Right down the street was a record and collectable shop. It was filled with all kinds of nerdy goodies. There was merch from bands that I like as well as other shows. I found a figure from my sister&#8217;s favorite show. Her birthday is on the 22nd, so I decided that it was going to be getting her gift there\u2026 later. We had a tour to get to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We went on a walking tour of Dublin! That was our big, educational thing for the day. It did not feel as long as it was, in all honesty. I think that it was maybe three hours. I was super tuned in at the start. Our tour guide was amazing, he really knew how to keep an audience and how to tell a story. Something I learned from the tour was there are bullet holes in a lot of the older buildings in Dublin. It is crazy to think that there are more similarities between Dublin and our more historic cities like Gettysburg. Oh, I also learned that the windows are boarded up because there used to be a window tax? Go King George III, give us weird ass taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, for Dinner, a group of us went to a small pub called O&#8217;Donoghue&#8217;s. Paula and I cider, it tasted so good! I also tried just a sip of Guinness. it\u2026 was bad, I did not like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we left and started our trek home. A woman asked Paula and I for money. When we said we didn&#8217;t have anything, she tried to spit on me! full Hawk Twoa and all. Thankfully it missed me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/pointparksocstudent.com\/Internationalmedia\/Ireland2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/e6070254-dd95-4b08-94fe-38d77dae267b-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pointparksocstudent.com\/Internationalmedia\/Ireland2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/e6070254-dd95-4b08-94fe-38d77dae267b-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pointparksocstudent.com\/Internationalmedia\/Ireland2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/e6070254-dd95-4b08-94fe-38d77dae267b-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pointparksocstudent.com\/Internationalmedia\/Ireland2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/e6070254-dd95-4b08-94fe-38d77dae267b-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pointparksocstudent.com\/Internationalmedia\/Ireland2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/e6070254-dd95-4b08-94fe-38d77dae267b-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pointparksocstudent.com\/Internationalmedia\/Ireland2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/e6070254-dd95-4b08-94fe-38d77dae267b.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAY 2!
