bye ireland :(

So I left Ireland yesterday for Barcelona. It's been an amazing last few days though!
St. Patricks day we stayed in Roscommon at the Hussey's, who are the nicest people and the greatest hosts ever. We ate a delicious Irish dinner and then went out to this bar/club...i think called Valentines? We danced a lot, did jagger bombs, and topped off the night with chips and curry sauce...YUMMMMM. It was such a great night. Irish people are just as crazy as Americans when it comes to St Paricks, except its way more acceptable because they are actually Irish. We ate another delicious meal the next morning to soak up all the toxins from the night before. Did a little shopping, watched a movie, went to bed. The Husseys were SO good to us and i will miss them :( Saturday morning we drove back to Dublin to drop off our rental car and meet up with Kelly! So great to see her. We hopped on a bus back across the country to Galway, which is only 3 hours from Dublin. We decided to stay there for the next few days cause it's a really cool town with lots to do. My mother left for home on Monday (miss you mom) so that left Kelly and I with one more day and night in Galway. We walked around a bunch and found this amazing record/book/comic shop. Got a ton of records that I can't wait to listen to. We stayed at a hostel and heard the sounds of love making next door to us...pretty uncomfortable pretty funny but I guess that's the price you pay for staying in a hostel. We had a very eventful night. A great last night in Galway. The next morning we got one last bowl of porridge at our breakfast spot and then got on a bus back to Dublin. We got a recommendation from one of the girls we were staying with to go to this vegetarian restaurant called Cornucopia. IT WAS THE BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER EATEN. We ate dinner there, walked around, then came back for dessert. It was really good. Then we went to bed then we got up and went to the airport and left Ireland for good :( :( :(
IN CONCLUSION: Ireland is an AMAZING place, the people are great, i'm so happy I got to see so much of it and meet so many people, and I can't wait to go back.
But now I'm in Barcelona with Kelly! Wowowowowowowowowow. It's sunny and warm. I walked around quite a bit today while Kelly was at school. Now i'm about to take a siesta cause that's what they do in Barcelona. There is so much to see and do here. We have a lot of cool things planned for this weekend. Like wine and cheese on the beach and secret mountain spots with views of the city and lots of other stuff. Can't wait!!
