Dublin and Madrid!

Dublin was amazing. i took a walking tour of the city, went to guiness and took pictures of Rainsford street, took a tour of the wicklow mountains, partied it up in Temple Bar, wandered around Dublin, went to see the Book of Kells, and went to Jameson! all in three days!

Then this weekend i went to beautiful, amazing Madrid. I went to the Plaza de Espana, saw much of the Parque del Retiro, wandered around the city and saw El Cortes Ingles, the crazy huge department store, went to the Palacio Real, saw the Cathedral of Madrid, saw the Museo Reina Sofia, a great little modern art museum, and generally wandered around the city taking in the beauty.

pictures of both will be up as soon as i can cajole the internet here to load them to flickr. they were both amazing! i want to go back!

also, i officially have housing for next year! i realize this may not sound as exciting, but as i forgot to give my roommate for next year my ID number so she could register on thursday and we were saved from crappy housing only by the fact that i had an early flight and we were able to remedy this early today- thanks to kait's quick searching and registration. so it's a bit of a big deal! and it's exciting that i get to be in Merion Gardens this year so i get air conditioning! yay!

again, pics up soon.
