so let me recap... i spent a couple days visiting some museums - one of art, one filled with dead stuffed animals of all types (including fish & insects), and one of natural history with lots of artifacts. i had a difficult time adjusting to the time change, so i took lots of naps & took my time wandering around. on friday, c picked me up near the ha'penny bridge, and drove me out to malahide, of course with the cute c in tow. we spent the afternoon playing in the sand, watching other kids play in the sand, and then tackled the traffic & headed back to her place. we met the boys at a nearby bar to help them decompress, before heading back to their house where they cooked us a marvelous dinner of duck & lamb. c is such an amazing cook. especially considering the fact that she has a young one to look after - don't know how she does it. the following day, we hit the guinness factory at 10:15 am & then went to the jameson distillery.
