When I havent been using my mad translation skills to decode milkshake thick Irish accents, I´ve been spending my time so far doing nothing but... nothing :) I think this is first break I´ve had in months. It´s so great. I toured a beautiful castle in Belfast, crashing illegally into a wedding (w/my friend´s dad whos a pastor!), drank LOTS of tea and coffee, ate way too much chocolate and toast, and jammed w/some friends in an old manor that is gorgeous and has its own lake! my fingers hurt b/c I had no callouses... it was so sweet.

So i was at the dublin airport trying to board the plane for madrid. my checkin was 10 kilo over and the attendant told me i would have to pay an 80 euro charge. i asked if i could transfer some things into my carry-on instead. the guy nodded as he waved me off and checked in the next passenger. still, 7 kilo over. the guy was cordial, but none too happy. i knew the whiskey and guiness i bought were heavy so i asked the guy if he drank guiness. a huge smile broke over his face and he exclaimed yeah! so i broke out two nice sized bottles of guiness and gave it to him explaining it was simply too heavy. as i tried to take out more, the attendant next to him was shouting something about a bottle for 'im! unable to sift anymore, i was ready to bite the bullet when the now elated attendant said that i was ok and let me go. lesson learned: guiness talks :) he was really sweet then and showed me where to go and such, and i was off on my way!

Oh, silly girl. Guinness is so tasty, who could pass it up? And it's certainly cheaper than 80 euros.
