Dun Laoghaire. Day 1.

   Alas I have arrived. My first day in Ireland became my assimilation day into my new leisurely Irish lifestyle. (Which will last all of four days. Thank you school.) After arriving in Dublin as the sun was just breaking over the harbor I made my way to Dun Laoghaire to stay with the lovely family hosting me for my temporary hiatus before the start of university. As they all rushed off to work I was left alone to explore my new home...
   Out the door I went to a warm Irish day. (needless to say it was a little misty) Making my way down the hill towards the ocean I struggled to believe I was here. Strolling along the ocean it couldn't have been more beautiful. The sun slowly stretching its way acosss the ocean, illuminating the rocky shoreline and in time the town behind me. At that point I knew I would love it here,but not without certain whims in leaving. As the town awoke it was time to get some logisitics of my arrival sorted out. A new cell phone, bank information, and a couple of necessary items and I was all set.
   Now, as I write this I have been up for approximately 28 hours With a third cup of tea and a red bull already consumed Im struggling to stay awake. It will, however, be done. I do have a home-cooked Iris meal of cabbage and beef to look forward this evening as well as possibly another promenade along the ocean. My day has been a success and Maynooth is on the horizon.

P.S. Look right then left when crossing the road. I learned quick.
