Last Days in Dublin

So, to commemorate our last couple of days in Dublin we thought it would only be right to try the famous "Batter Burger" Yes, it is exactly what it sounds like, and apparently it does not usually come on a bun. For those of you that might not have been able to imagine this Batter Burger until you saw the picture I will describe it. This unnatural form of burger might kill you in one shot if you are not careful when consuming and knowing accurate body state of health. This burger is like any other burger until you dip it in batter and deep fry it. Yum, sounding like a heart attack yet, well I asked them to add cheese too it. It was pretty good, although I have to say I like regular burgers better, no batter needed for me.

For our second to last day of classes Genevieve took us out to get some ice cream as a treat for being so good during the long presentations and as a reward for answering all the questionairres she had for us. We went to a place called Murphy's. It is from Doolin and Kilkenny and pure Irish icecream. They have some pretty cool flavors like brown bread, baileys, burnt caramel and others among those. I got chocolate chocolate chip and honeycomb (which honeycomb anything is my new favorite)

This is just a picture that I had never gotten to take all along. It is Temple Bar in the Temple Bar district of Dublin. Temple bar district is full of.. BARS.. not very hard to guess. They are also known to have some other markets and stuff. But it is a very touristy area especially at night when in the night scene, but it still makes for a good time and this area is where we had met the scottish boys a while back.

This is the Four Courts of Dublin. It contains the high court and deals with other court related issues. This Four Courts got mostly destroyed in the Civil War in Dublin. Many of the records of families and surname history got lost because of this so it is even harder today to find heritage relating all the way back unless you are lucky.

And this last thing is a plaque that our teacher had told us about from one of the many famous ppl in Ireland Captain Sean Connolly.

Ok. Guess what is coming next. LONDON... I know you will all be sad that Dublin and all of Ireland is over but no worries because there will be more exciting things with London.
Love and miss you all
