Last full day in Dublin and my first day in Cork!

Today was a rally cool day! i saw many new parts of Dublin that were amazing! Sam and i went the st Petersburg cathedral, which was one of the coolest buildings in Dublin! Its was about a five minutes walk from the hostel, after that we kept walking towards the guinness factory and passed a bunch more churches and castle type buildings! we got to the guiness factory and all of a sudden sam wasn'
Pt sure if she wanted to spend 15 euros to go inside and take the tour.. she was kind of in an off mood and was feeling more home sick than she usually is.. I told her that i felt bad for making her wait but i was going in regardless! hello the guinness factory in Dublin thats like a must! I ended up only paying 11 euro with my student id! It was worth every euro spent! seriously i took over 100 pics easy! haha i can make a dvd just on the guinness factory it self. Every time i see a guinness i think of my sister felicia, i was wishing she was with me the entire tour. sam was grumpy but i still had a blast! after you go through the seven floors of learning how a guinness is made start to finish you get a free guinness! And better yet you drink it in a sky bar over looking the city, it was so kick ass! sam didnt want her guinness which didnt bother me in the least becuase guess who drank it? I walked out with a bunch of cool pics and a pretty good buzz! ha ha i know two beers and i had a buzz, i guess the four pieces of toast for breakfast wasnt wuite enough.. or i'm just a light wieght! probably both. we walked back to the hostel and i grabbed a shower and just relaxed! went down to the lobby for a bit to do some internet work, and met a guy named jay from New York, who was studying in london! I planned on meeting him later on in my journey!
I went back up to my room to do some arganizing for the trip to cork in the morning, and wrote some cards out! then the brazilians showed up and we made plans for the night! We waited around a little bit while some of there friends were getting ready. there friends came knocking on the door and then i heard more Portuguese in five minutes than ive heard in my entire life! ha ha.
there friends were really cool! it was another guy and three girls all from Brazil! the guy was really nice and i really liked one of the girls! her name was karina she was really cute, smart, and talkative! the other two were nice but very shy.. That night was for sure the best night i had in Dublin! Wholy shit! we started in the famous temple bar, which was ok but it was crowded REALLY CROWDED and really touristy, and super pricey... just because. The bar tenders wernt exactly friendly, which is kind of understandable becuase we were probably the 123,498 tourist that night asking for a beer and saying it wrong ha ha!
we satyed there for about twenty minutes and headed out down the brick roads to a club! it was funny becasue we got carded and i poulled out my id that clearly marks UNDER 21 UNTIL .... The club was sooooooooo much fun! The best beer i had in Dubli hands down! I was dancing my ass off and was the only one out of the eight of us dancing.. ha ha so i made new friends while sam and the brazilians just laughed and talked about how nuts i was! Theses guys kept cheersing with me and dancing around with my beanie and kept waving my hat in the air! After about the 5 or 6th person that tried my hat on it went missing and i just didnt even look for it.. the brazilians kept asking me if i was gonna look for it through the 100+ people but i was like na it will find me ha ha! about ten minutes later later this blond girl came dancing up with my brown hat and put it on my head, it was hilarious! Then it wasnt much longer when they had had enough of the crazyness and thought there were to many people.. I was just getting started and was hoping more people would come rollin in! :)
so we left and half the group0 went back to the hostel, but i wasnt about to go back i was havin a blast! the two nights before were fun, but they were more casual pub nights.
So lucas and i decided to get ``pissed`` as the irish would say! First time being Drunk across seas! Karina, Sam, Lucas, and I stayed out and went out to another pub and danced! yep this time we all danced! We got a free admission because we got a stamp from these two people in blue suuits in the streets! ha ha why not! lucas and i drank a sol. wkd (sweet beer with vodka added), bulmas (which was like apple cider/ wine.. wasnt the best) Then we wemt for a good old budweiser, and then ??? :) ha ha
Lucas and i kept getting hit on by these two girls, at first it was fun then it became annoying.. It was funny tho because i was trying to make escuses for lucas and i! Not lucas hes straight to the point! lol he wasn't being rude he,s just brazilian and doesnt speak great english.. so he like `sorry, we just no like you` .... you very nice but your style es just not for me, you know`LOL it was bad.. then they kept asking me tons of questions, like i was gonna have something different to say so i had to leave ha ha! but the good news is that i left so fast i got a nice guinness glass out of the of the deal! OOPS! :)
when i was out side i met a really cool american girl, and tried to help her with directions.. Then Sam and lucas came out and we started heading back. The drunken munchies hit us and we grabbed a burger and i ate it on the street.
When i got back to the hostel it took about ten seconds after my head hit the pillow to fall asleep aka pass out! It was an expensive night but sooo worth it! i imagine unless i want to come home by the first of march i can do that about once a week.. Thats all i need any way. There is endless fun over here with no alcohol involved!
The next morning i was a little out of it but a shower changed that for the most part! I checked out of my hostekl by 8:15 and was on a bus to the air port by 8:30. I saw jay at the bus stop and he spotted me 2,20 euros for the bus because they only take exact coin.. The bus driver wasw kind of rude not gonna lie! i was to the top floor with my bag and sat down, and he came up and was like `hey kid with the big blue bag come down here! i was like ok.... omg what did i do ha ha? So i sat next to an old lady and he was like `come on man`! i was like WHAT! .... come to find out this was all over putting my bag on the storage rack... ha ha what ever! Jay came down and sat next to me, because hes just cool like that! hes super mellow and fun to talk to! so we talked all the way to the airport and when i was getting off the bus i tried to apologize to the driver and his responce was KEEP MOVING! i just chuckled ha ha..
then went our seperate ways.. but all catch up with in in London i hope!
i found out where my leaves from and met a really cool older guy named peter, he bought me coffee and tought me alot of europe history! mainly about the UK but he has a lot of good advice and i hope to meet his son in whales, some time after London!
After about 50 minutes of talking with peter the bus came and i was on my way to cork, in southern Irealnd! The bus was spacious and pretty comfortable and i enjoyed the bus ride through the county side and the cool little cities we passed through! the bus ride was close to four hours long and right when i got off sean the guy with the goats all be staying with was right there waiting! Sean's really cool guy and i look forward to my stay with him. so i threw my bag in the back and walked to the passenger side of the car and he joked and said no no no your not driving ha ha! oh yea why didn't i think of that the steering wheel is on the wrong side, lol! We had about an hour drive from cork and we had to stop twice because apparently sean is sick and ended up throwing up twice on the way to his house.. all im thinking is REALLY I DONT WANT TO GET SICK! COME ON! but he called his doctor and quickly got some medicine in a little town called Macroom, and hes already feeling way better! so were good. He made me feel right at home and then put me right to work ha ha! I fed the goats, bottle fed the babies, filled waters, put them in there stalls and i must say it was fun! its like a little mini farm. And the drive to his country is really pretty and really really really back country Irealand! Narrow roads, like barely enough room for two cars! very green and just awesome! Tomorrow im gonna take a long hike for sure and probably walk down to the little village! we will hopefully go the the cliffs of moher tuesday if the weathers ok because he got three days off of work for being sick.
Sooooo thats were im at! I miss you all!
:)
Ps: i have wi fi here and will in and out of the house for four days so i hope to hear from you guys! Its beautifle hear, but not exactly never ending with things to do..
so its hiking, goat work, going to one of the two pubs, and KEEPING IN TOUCH!!!
