I've spent my second day here in Dublin, and I have to say I love it here. It may be cold, but the people are friendly, the food is great, and surprisingly the streets are ALWAYS busy! there are people everywhere at all times! I love it!
the thing i can't get used to is being a foreigner. i walk around without realizing this is another country. and people talk to me like an Irish citizen, only to hear my accent and go, "Oh! You're American!" i laugh and say yes, and they are immediately intrigued. it is slightly isolating as i've never been here before, don't know how things work, and i'm by myself. but i am endlessly happy being here. the weather has been beautiful, no rain yet. (it's a miracle!)
i have no cell phone, which is liberating and sad. i am not connected to anyone, and it's fun to walk around knowing no one can reach me, but then again i would love to hear some familiar voices. i wish my mom could hear my voice and know i'm alright, but i email her twice a day with updates. i would love to talk to my luvah, but i talked to him before the long plane ride from JFK, and it was great to hear his voice one last time. yeah, i'm a smitten kitten. and i feel he might be, too.
but this trip has already been great, and i can't wait to see what the rest holds for me! I can't believe i'm here for another ten days. wow! i can't believe i'm here!
