Mrs. Clayton! We want to hear about Dublin!
Oh, ok...I suppose I should make my own thread for this, but I'm here, so why not.
Well...mom and I flew to Scotland on October 1st and we played around scotland and wales before we took the boat to Dublin on the 14th. When we entered Dublin port...the television(which was playing music videos) played the "Electrical Storm" video
We only had two full days(plus the day we arrived)in Dublin...not enough time to do half of what we wanted. We stayed in Dun Laoghaire, just south of Dublin. It was a beautiful town, but windy. We just walked around that day, since we arrived late in the afternoon.
The next day, we took the DART into Dublin and we found our way(eventually)to Trinity College. We saw the Book of Kells, and the Old Library(is that what it's called?). Then we went walking with my U2 list...we found the Bonavoix store, the Clarence(but we just walked through real fast) the Project Arts Center, Dockers, Windmill Lane, and then we trekked through construction to Hanover Quay. It was so cold, and so windy that by the time we got to Hanover, we were so tired and freezing. How many photos have I seen of the band in front of the studio? Dozens, yet I couldn't tell which run down looking building it was. I saw the bench(autographed by Mullen-Girl...I have a photo)and so then I assumed the building across the bench was the studio. I guess it's what I thought it would look like, but the area around it is all torn down...
Anyways, we didn't stay long(too cold)plus, we didn't know if the guys were even there. I don't know how those PLEBA girls sat on that bench for hours in hope that they would meet one of the guys...but they did.
The next day, we went to Kilmainham Jail(super cool)and the Guinness Museum(super lame-and I like Guinness).
***Thursday***
We got our rental car...and to make a long story short....we found Adam's house
It was so surreal to be standing infront of his gates...I was only there about a minute.(I wanted to be polite) I got three photos, but I didn't get to see the house because I think the path AM told me about is now the motorway...but that's ok, I know what it looks like.
I'm going to get some of the photos on CD, so I can upload them online...when I do, I'll let you all know!
If any of you want to know anything else, PM me or I have this...

It was fun, but there's no place like home...
