Sept 30th

I slept about 2.5-3.5 hrs on my nearly 7 hr flight. They served a light breakfast and my plane landed ~ 08:45. Went through customs rather easily, then waited about 40 minutes for my luggage. After exiting the baggage area, Ryan and the Irish girls were nowhere to be seen. I called them (using Alex's leftover euros!) on a payphone, and they came and got me about 30 minutes later. With all Ryan's luggage (and the 3 bags I brought) her little car was stuffed. The girls likened it to a Mr. Bean episode. It was, of course, raining and it continued off and on for the duration of the day. They then took us to a great Irish breakfast, and insisted on paying. They have been the greatest hosts. Anyhow, we came to our Bed and Breakfast, and met our host. Mrs. Maura Leahy, she is the nicest lady. She is very Irish, and loves to talk to us. She has told us alot of good information thus far. Ryan and i have seemed to master the bus system. We unpacked our stuff, and then headed to town. We explored some, stoppe dat a pub to watch 1/2 the Chelsea vs. Aston Villa match, and then headed back to clean up. We took showers and went to dinner to meet the girls. They took us to an italian restaurant, and it was pretty good! We then went to 2 different pubs, and then came home aroun midnight. We were beat, of course.
