Comets and Babies

Where to begin!  Since my last posting, I:
... went to Doyle's, a pub near Trinity College (Wednesday)
... sat on the top of the bus on a rainy day during the Dublin City Bus Tour (check out all the sites we drove past here: http://www.dublinsightseeing.ie/citytour.aspx)
... hopped off at Trinity and saw the Book of Kells and the Long Library (where I felt like I was in a fairytale- there were ladders leading up to the books!)
... pre-gamed the Guinness Storehouse tour with some Jameson at the Jameson distillery
... went to The Clock Pub and The Comet
... jotted down the number for Domino's delivery from an Irish local I met (obviously this was essential since The Spar near my apartment closes at 11)
... met my fourth roommate, Nina from Germany (Thursday)
... went to my first day of work
... lost my wallet for an hour (I wasn't kidding when I said I lose things like it's my job) but retraced my steps and found it
... went to the Temple Bar and ordered a Baby Guinness (my new FAVORITE drink, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Guinness)
... traveled back to The Comet to drink more Babies.

This is obviously an abbreviated version of my jam-packed few days, a "SparkNotes" of my Wednesday-Friday.  Clearly The Comet (my favorite pub right near my apartment) and my "Babies" are the reoccurring themes of this post.  I can definitely get used to them, and I also can't complain.  Until next time!

  1. Hi Norma, I will be following your adventures in Dublin. Good luck, and don't drink too many "Babies"--they sound pretty lethal! Love, Jamie
