The day I came back from Bray, I met a cat. Now, I'm not a cat person, but this little kitten was basically a dog in disguise. Apparently a medley of cats were living on our campus and Sofia and I took this one in to feed and give a temporary home to. We named her Olive. Not sure if it's a girl but in my search for identification I only found fur, so I'm guessing that since nothing stuck out, Olive must be a girl. We fed her and she was so hungry. Then she took a cat nap (pun intended) and then almost got stuck under the window while trying to escape. So we had Olive for a solid two hours. She was great.
Here she's saying, "Why did you wake me up to take a picture of me."
"Fine, I guess I'll pose like an Egyptian princess."
"I hate humans."
"Did...did she just say she's a 'dog' person?!"
This super random and miscellaneous post has now jumped to the next day, when I went back to Bray because I loved it so much. It also happened to be Mother's Day in Ireland! Which meant tons of kids and lots of places with soft serve ice cream, which definitely made my day so much better. I just hung out on the beach and boardwalk and watched the world go by. There were so many cute dogs and little kids on scooters and happy families, it was magical and I loved every second. Plus, Bray was so sunny and not a drop of rain was to be found! So, I was able to see what it actually looked like in the sunlight!
Just this past weekend, I walked outside to take a stroll and the sky looked like a painting. This was one of the few super sunny days in Dublin and I soaked it all up! The weather has progressively been getting more clear and a lot warmer, I'm loving the springtime change!
I have a thing for buckets, and not just because cool words rhyme with bucket.
My journey accidentally (not) led me to the best burrito place in Dublin. Now, when I say best, I mean mediocre. There aren't any good Mexican places here in Ireland but this place is the closest to being authentic. It's pretty good. Outside is this Before I Die wall. I like the "become supreme empress" answer. I'm pretty sure Olive wrote that.
The tile on the inside is awesome!
The classic, "I can take a picture of my feet to show I was actually here, in case the picture itself didn't convince you that I was here taking it."
And...drum roll please...that means you, Brendan...the name of this awesome burrito place is called...kids, do not read any further...The Little Ass Burrito Bar! With a little donkey as a mascot! And you thought this place couldn't get any better.
Stephen's green was even more beautiful than usual and the colors of flowers and plants are so much more vibrant than ever before.
Tulip season! Woop woop, tulip!
Kids, close your eyes, this is a picture of a lot of butts.
Gah, my trash from the weekend was overflowing. But seriously, Ireland drinks to much Coke. I'm surprised they haven't caught onto the fact that soda is not healthy for you. You see people walking around with Coke cans everywhere. And that is all the young and old people drink when we see them in restaurants.
This is at the Tamarama Cafe across from my classes. I walked in this morning and the guy looked at me and said, "Chai?". Yup, I guess I'm officially a regular. But I love this place for it's awesome vibe, wonderful people, and cool black and white prints on the wall.
