the week two review (revue?)
dear friends,
well, it has been another whirlwind week. i can't believe i am 1/4th of my way through my time here. since last week i have had many adventures. first, i learned that shows are actually called gigs here, this has made my internet searches for things to do/see much more productive.
last thursday i said good-bye to roomate caitlin who has returned to canadia. we did so in style at a local wine bar with some of her canadian friends, all of whom happen to be in med-school here. there was one american, but he was so nice he may as well have been from the homeland. on friday had another great spend-the-gni-euro dinner with colleen. this was a good end to a day where i had the horrible experience of trying to recover from a hangover with some aspirin-like product that i did not know until post-purchase needed to be disolved in water and tasted terrible. friday was also the day that i got powered up, and started actually working on my project thanks to the nice folks at dolphin's barn electrical who hooked me up with a working adaptor.
on saturday i did bloomsday in style by having a glass of burgandy and a gorgonzola cheese sandwich at davy byrnes. as you do. and then i found my new favourite spot, a record store called road records. i also purchased the following. orla kiley may be known around the world, but she got her start in dublin so i feel it is an appropriate irish souvenier.
on sunday, we headed out to howth a beautiful little seaside village/suburb of dublin that is at the end of the dart. there was a fabulous farmer's market, a sketchy ferry ride and lots of good times had.
monday i learned what hurling was from simon, the irish boyfriend of my norweigan roomate. on tuesday i helped said norwegian with her survey-- a sociologists work is never done. also of note on tuesday was my irish baptism wherein i got caught in a torrential downpour.
and there you have it, apparently, adventures abroad just like history-- is the story of one damned thing after another.
will try and spice it up for you (yes, all three of you) next time.
to the bus!

I heart Orla Kiley! they(she?) have the cutest dresses with the bestest colours. V. envious. ;)
p
what??? you got an orla kealey???? i am SO JEALOUS. i totally want one, but have not found the perfect one (at a perfectly discounted price) and so i lag behind hannah and her entourage (of keren and christine) who all have fabulous orla bags. and now you too!!
aha! i remembered hannah had this green/yellow bag i always liked but i wasn't sure it was orla kiley.
i also love all of the homeware stuff [and am going to go visit the showroom in london next weekend]but can't justify a throw-pillow that is twice as expensive as one of these bags!!
