Dublin Airport - 6/27/09

Hey everyone,

I'm currently at Dublin Airport.  My flight back to De Gaulle will be boarding in about an hour so I thought I'd shoot you a quick email.  Tonight I'll be in Amsterdam, the city where crazy shit happens.

I had a pleasant last day in Dublin yesterday.  As I told you in a previous email I lost my right contact 2 days ago and foolishly forgot to bring extras or my glasses.  Luckily I found a local optician, Grant’s Temple Bar Opticians, who were able to fill my prescription in one day!  If you are ever in Dublin and in need of glasses I highly recommend them.  I needed new glasses either way so I wasn't too upset over the rather expensive price tag.

I didn't want to do anything until I had my full vision back so I waited around until 12pm until my frames were ready.  After I picked them up I hit a few stop.  

After checking out some other stores I decided to have dinner at The Pig's Ear that serves traditional Irish food.  It was a little pricey (with very ungenerous proportions!) but I figured what the heck.  I considered getting duck but I couldn't bring myself to do it.  Ducks are just too cute.  I finally went with the Irish sirloin which wasn't bad.

I was feeling quite full after those last two meals (I had salmon and eggs for breakfast) so I decided instead of hitting the pubs I was just going to walk around town to work off some calories.  

I was tired from my long walk and came back to get some sleep.  I then checked out and took the bus to the airport where I am now.

I've definitely enjoyed my time in Dublin but I am very much looking forward to Amsterdam.
Until next time...
