Katelyn and I had originally planned to o the Sandeman's Dublin walking tour but we didn't think we had enought time to do the full tour and make it to the train station to get to Galway. We decided to set out on our own and just explore and grab lunch for a couple hours. We ended up stumbling upon this kewl store that's insanely cheap. Its called Penney's and its operated by Primark. It was perfect. I spent like $40 and got 6 things and I don't regret a second of it. This may be because I got some overalls. You know I love them. Since we spent an inordinate amount of time in here we needed to grab lunch and go back and get our bags before our train. We went in the first place we saw which turned out to be this awesome fast food place. I know what you're thinking, "How can those two words go together?" Well they can. This place has 3 different food options and a separate ice cream portion. So one option is McDonalds meets Chick-fil-a, aka quality meat and flavor with burgers and chicken. The next option is like Firehouse subs sort of- hot sandwichs, wraps and yummy salads (I chose this place). Lastly, there was a Papa John's pizza but they had way more options than just regular pizza, like calzones and pizza bites (I KNOW!!). What a great idea. You can serve so many people's needs in one place and its quick. Whoever came up with Supermac's, you are genius.
In other news, we made it to the train and it yelled at me to stop smoking when I went to the bathroom. I was in the "stall" and it starts beeping at me telling me to extinguish my cigarette and that a staff member is coming to get me and I am all what?? Then the water won't turn on for me to wash my hands which I can only assume is so you can't like hide the smoke smell or something? Anyway I freaked out and hurried back to my seat. Don't smoke kids, it isn't worth it.
Out the window I can see real live sheep with black faces. Like who knew that they were this cute. When they frolick in the fields I feel like my life is complete and I can die happy. It is the most beautiful scene. Ireland is just gorgeous and the expansive land is something from a Medieval storybook.
What is not something from a storybook is the fact that I haven't worn clean clothes in about 9 days. You're welcome. When we get to our AMAZING perfectly located hostel in Galway, getting laundry done is like Christmas. I am actually embarrassed to give them my clothes because there is an odor. A strong odor- not like body odor but worse. Let me explain that though. In Korcula- yes like 5 cities ago- I meant to hand wash some things but ran out of time. I had stacked them in the bathroom by the shower. The shower leaked. I didn't know they had gotten wet but the next day I had to pack them. They mildewed in the bags and I tried to dry them in Dubrovnik but honestly the smell stays. I regret it but hey, what are you going to do? I warned the woman not to inhale when she washes my clothes and she assured me she wouldn't. I had hoped we would have the clothes by the next morning before our trip to the Cliffs of Moher so I didn't have to wear the same outfit for the 4th day in a row. Thank god I got more underwear at Penney's am I right??
Katelyn and I got this cool Medieval walking tour audio guide from the front desk-super nerdy but I didn't want to waste any time in Galway. On the way to start the tour and look for food we saw a young girl doing hairwraps in the street. Could this be heaven? Naturally we had to stop and get one because it was so cheap and it took her no time at all. It was a new technique and it was with yarn but a hairwrap is a hairwrap and we couldn't resist.
I love it. Love love love.
So we found dinner and finished the tour and then passed out. We were tired and tomorrow is the Cliffs of Moher so we needed to be well rested and ready to go. I love Ireland. Did I say that already?? It is wonderful.
