Day 3: I Accidently Went to a Gay Bar and Got Licked....

Today was a very fun-filled day! I went on a 2 1/2 hour walking tour of Dublin which was pretty. After that we had lunch on a boat on the Liffey River and the food was really, really good! Then Torey and I came back to the room and napped for the afternoon. We woke up and went and got some sandwiches for dinner then went down to Temple Bar for the night. Temple Bar is like the 6th Street of Dublin. This is where the fun stuff happened.

So the first bar we went to we did not realize was a gay bar but looking back we should have! Looking back it was 90% guys (one was dressed like Susan Boyle) and they were all singing along with REM, Cher, and Grease. And there was the 2 guys who swapped ice using only their mouths... yeah I know, we were oblivious! We were also being bothered a lot there by all the guys who found it so much fun that we were American. Though none of them were Irish - they were mainly Dutch and Swiss. Anyway so right as we were finishing up our beers and thinking it was time to move on this guy came up and kissed Maia, Torey, and Sally's hands but when he took mine he full on licked the top of my hand! With that it was time to go.

After that we met up with Noel (the IT guy from UCD) and he said the area of Temple Bar we were in was all tourists and no locals so he took us to The Porter House. This place was really fun and we met a few Irish guys that Sally and I became friends with for the night. They were a lot of fun and taught us some tricks to sounding Irish but not "leprechaun" as they said I sounded when I tried to do an Irish accent. It was also fun because they bought us our drinks as well. I love being American here!


Fun Irish guys
