In Ireland.
Well. I'm here. I'm in Carrickmacross, Monaghan County, Ireland. I haven't done much today. I arrived in Dublin at about 7 a.m. and didn't make it to the hotel until about 11. I immediately went out, and walked into town on my own. It was a good, oh, I'd say about 2 miles of walking to get to the town center.
Carrickmacross is tiny, but pretty cool. There's all these shops lined up, one after the other -- all of which are local stores. There are no cookie-cutter name brand places, like McDonalds, which I find nice. I walked around for a while, went up and down some side streets, snapped a lot of pictures. I went into the local cathedral and sat looking at the stained glass for a while.
There were all these teenagers in uniform who were let out for lunch from their school. All girls, though there were a few boys from the boys school in a different color uniform mixed in. A lot of them were pack into this little place called Sean's Deli, so that's where I went for lunch. I figured that if there were that many people packed in there, then the food had to be good -- and I was right. It was a very good sandwich.
Throughout most of the day, it was warm and sunny. Very nice, considering that I expected it to be freezing her the whole time. But a wind picked up, and I got a little chilled, so I started walking back to the hotel. I should have stayed out there longer, though, because it was mostly nice for the rest of the day. And when I got back to my hotel, I just fell asleep. Jet lag. Ug.
Anyway, I'm about to go have dinner now with some of the people who are also apart of this press conference. Later.
