Now joined by Sini and Tina, the great exploits continue- after several hours of wandering around, Sini and I are masters of Dublin navigation, though our favorite technique remains picking a general direction and seeing what we stumble upon- which has been museums, cathedrals, castles, hat shops, cozy pubs with nice Irish stew, etc...The morning was spent wandering, eating, and checking out an AMAZING cathedral (Christ Church Cathedral), and the Dubliner museum next to it (complete with Viking exhibition- SEA PIRATES!!!). Of course, afternoons are exclusively for napping (this is, after all, vacation).
Of course, us three smokin' ladies hit the town at night at Citi Bar, the local collegiate hangout spot, complete with light up dancefloor and popular American and European hits. We didn't actually intend to hit up the night club scene, we stumbled upon it somewhat unprepared. It turns out that wearing a SWE shirt that says "Engineers Wanted" on the back is not a turn off, but in fact a remarkably effective pickup line... I believe I drank with most of the engineers in the bar by the end of the night (I was definitely summoned across the room multiple times with a group of people pointing at one poor soul, shouting, "HE'S AN ENGINEER!!!!") :) The bulk of the fun, though, ended up being sponsored by a gorgeous Brazilian soccer team in Ireland for a tournament, learning to speak English. Not that we were that concerned with their english speaking abilities ;) We fully intend to return tomorrow in more appropriate clubbing gear (aka, not t-shirts) so the effectiveness of engineer friendly tshirts v. sparkly tights can be objectively tested.
