August 28 We made it and are loving it!

Today we went to St. Patty's Cathederal and the Temple Bar plaza- not to be fooled with as both being holy:)

Our flight in was long and we foolishly stayed up and watched movies so we have been exhausted all day. We arrived in Ireland at 8am at couldn't check into the hostel until 2pm. We kept falling asleep everywhere we went, including at a bakery patio where the owner came and woke us up and shewed us away! As soon as we checked into our hostel we crashed for 5 hours and then went out and wondered the city looking for dinner and found that and gelato:) It is Saturday night now and so it is evreything we could have imagined: live music, street performers, cobblestone streets, cascading flower pots, weaving streets and alley ways... We shared a "bufala" pizza for dinner (pesto and CHEESE) at a very romantic italian restarautn with a gentleman who sang and played his violin.

We LOVE our hostel, Avalalon, and highly recommend it for anyone planning on Ireland.

Tomorrow we want to hit it hard so bedtime!
