The Luck of the Irish!















Saint Patrick's Day week/weekend was so much fun. We were in Stirling for St. Patrick's Day, and then Thursday we left for Ireland. We stayed in a hostel in Belfast for the 3 nights that we were there. It was a 20 person room. Sounds pretty creepy right.. but it wasn't bad at all. The beds were pretty uncomfortable, but we paid 6 pounds a night, so I guess you get what you pay for!! Thursday and Friday we just explored Belfast, and then Saturday morning we got on a coach bus to Dublin for the Ireland vs. Scotland 6 Nations rugby game! We arrived in Dublin with plenty of time to see downtown Dublin, then we had to meet up with the guy that had our tickets.. on a corner. We got our tickets and when we looked at them to our surprise they said Row C. We got very excited but didn't know how good they were really going to be until be got there and the usher said "three rows from the field!" The seats were Amazing(as you can see in the picture), and it was a great game! We planned on sleeping on the bus ride back to Belfast but the drunk rowdy fans did not let that happen. Singing, chanting, and drinking (i guess its legal here to drink on buses) the whole ride back. We got back to Stirling on Sunday, and went right back into school mode with a presentation on Monday, and an essay that was due today. I was happy with the outcomes of both of them, but have another essay, and an essay test due next week, and then SPRING BREAK. Finally! Hope all is well in Minnesota..and California :) Good Night.
