            A quick note about the blog title.  It’s a reference to a movie from 1969 (the "If It's Europe..." thing).  Go figure it out!

Well, we’re in Dublin.  The flight was smooth.  We left JFK at 22:00 and got into Dublin at 9:15ish.  We hopped on a bus and got off at Trinity College (appropriately enough).  Our first order of business was to grab some food.  The bus driver recommended Bewley’s for a traditional Irish breakfast.  Will and I both got “sweet pancakes.” They’re thicker and heartier than the average pancake.  Very filling.  I liked it.

Next, we found a hostel.  We’re currently staying at the Bunkhouse.  It’s great.  12 Euro a night for an 8 person dorm with a private shower and lockers under the bed.  Also free wifi. 

Once we settled in, we went to the Leprechaun Museum.  It’s a museum of Irish myth and folktale that focuses on leprechauns.  I loved it; there was tons of mythology to read!

As we left, I heard the sound of two baby walruses talking to each other.  Turns out it as just two British dudes.  Then, William and I got a Carlsberg each at at bar called Maddigans.  After that, we grabbed a quick dinner at a Chinese buffet (bang for buck = maximized) and another beer at Maddigans.  This time, Will had a Guiness and I had a Bavaria(n?).  

As a final note, all exit signs in Ireland are the Portal symbol.  It’s weirding me out.
