SECOND DAY IN DUBLIN

SO I got lost significantly less times during my second day in Dublin. I needed a hat to keep my ears warm, so I went to Penneys, and found out it was like the Irish equivalent to our Kohl's. Cheap clothing, but also probably cheap quality. I didn't get anything. So then I went to Easons, which is like a Barnes and Noble, and it was so exciting seeing the different covers for a lot of my favorite books! Look at the Harry Potter covers:


And this was just one set of Harry Potter covers. I came across another completely different looking set in another store. Anyway, I got an Irish SIM card, in case I'm stranded on the side of the road, or in case I just wanted internet while strolling around Dublin. Because there were a total of like TWO places in Dublin that had wifi. My B&B didn't even have wifi except for in one tiny corner of a hallway. DUMB.

For lunch, I went to Lemon Crepe & Coffee Co. and got this delicious crepe. It's the first proper crepe I'd ever had. It was more mushy/gooey than I had imagined. I thought they were kind of crispy on the outside... but I got a dark chocolate strawberry banana crepe with a cappuccino. IT WAS HUGE AND BEAUTIFUL:


Next, I went to St. Anne's Church. I went there 1) because Bram Stoker got married there, and 2) because it was actually FREE. I had a nice chat with the pastor/pope/reverend guy, and he let me even go upstairs even though it was blocked off. It was a beautiful church. There was also a bust of Bram Stoker there, which was terribly creepy. He seemed as though he was looking into my soul. But the rest of the church was really nice.


After the church, I went to St. Stephen's Green, which is pretty much just a big park. And one big make-out session. So much PDA. It was actually kind of gross. But the park was nice to just sit in, even though I couldn't find a bench that wasn't facing a couple making out in the grass. So I sat in a bench facing two couples making out in the grass. It was fabulous. HERE'S A PICTURE OF ME WITH A TREE:


After this, I went home and went to bed early. I'm such a party animal.
