Day 16: Just Our Luck

So today we got up early and headed back to Dublin from Galway. We got back to UCD early afternoon and just rested up for our evening. The whole class went out to dinner courtesy of UT then headed over to Irish dancing which was a lot of fun. For one dance I had a strapping young partner named Daniel who was about 80 years old. He was a lot of fun and helped me get through the dance.

So as a prelude to what happened next please remind yourself of the gorgeous Senator we met earlier in the week. So this Senator called Brad (our professor) last night and said that he and his roommates would like to show us around the good pubs around town. So all day today Brad was texting with him making arrangements and such. So after Irish dancing most of the girls went home and all who remained were me, Torey, Sally, and Maia. So Brad lets John Paul (the Senator) know that we are headed that way and gave us his number so we could call him when we got down there. Anyway so we get to the bar he told us he was in and started to look for him but he is nowhere to be seen. So we give him a call and finally find the group but alas John Paul is not even there! The whole time we had, and Brad had, been talking to his roommate. It was all very sketchy. When we confronted them they made up very bad stories that involved John Paul being there but left to go work (it was 2 am) and that he had had his roommates phone earlier so we really had been talking to him. Lies!! So yes we spent almost 45 Euro (split among us) for nothing.
