I don't quite know how it happened, but this post seems to be all about drinks?
No better way to start off the last day of finals then with Irish Breakfast Tea! Yum! Although Irish literature and Irish myth were awesome classes, I am very glad to be done with summer courses! Theme classes for Grand Valley - CHECK.
At our end of the program dinner I had my first Irish Coffee. I definitely wasn't expecting it to be as strong as it was, but I enjoyed it non the less. Irish Coffee- CHECK.
After saying good bye to Corrib Village and Galway I headed back to Dublin for a final night (or two) with friends. First stop- the Jameson Factory. Thats a whole lot of Irish Whiskey! lol. I also volunteered to be one of the "taste testers". We took samples of Scotch, Jameson, and Jack Daniels... our tour guide then [strongly] suggested that we pick Jameson as the best AND best of all... I got a taste testing certificate.
The photo on the left is of Whelan's bar which is where the scene (right) is filmed in P.S I love you. We went for a visit but unfortunately didn't hear any "Galway Girl" being played.
We went for a few drinks and live music at the Porterhouse and then back to the hostel for some sleep before an early flight... except not. When I got to the airport US airways over booked the flight by 6 people. They offered $900 in travel vouchers and a free night at the Holiday Inn. So, here I am. Still in Dublin, but I fly out tomorrow and I can't wait to see all friends and family!
Cheers Ireland!
