Hey everyone!
Dublin is so beautiful, and after that first freezing morning when we arrived it actually warmed up quite a bit. Yaaay! ("Yaaay!" is a quote from some Avenue Q characters, the Bad Idea Bears, that they say following all their cheerful suggestions. It's become a running joke here since we saw it.)
The trip has been feeling more whirlwind, since we basically have had three very busy days here and are off to Hamburg, Germany tomorrow morning. We've seen Trinity College and the library there (so. awesome.) and the National Gallery and the National History Museum (bog men!) We also went yesterday to see the Christ Church Cathedral, which was built in 1030ish and has really cool stuff like the embalmed heart of an archbishop from about 1200 years ago (it is believed that you can pray to it and it will cause miracles- one woman told Mel it had saved her mother's life) and a cat and rat from the 1800s which became mummified when one chased the other into the pipes of the organ. Crazy! We also went today to St. Patrick's Cathedral, which was beautiful and there was a choir singing there. Everyone here is so friendly, and the accents are loads of fun.
Guess that's it for now, as I don't have much time. Until next time, take care!
Love,
Sara
