Farm
Today we went to a traditional Irish farm and had tons of fun. Activities that we did include chasing pigs, Irish dancing and peat bog wrestling. I'll try and add my pictures from today. I also found a yarn store in Dublin and am relearning how to knit so that I can make myself a nice warm balaclava for the ocean wind. Also on the craft front, I decided to buy a charm from each port and attach them to a necklace I made before I left. From Horta I got a little whale bone charm and then I got a little Celtic knot at a gift store here. I also checked out a second hand store with some friends an we got a bunch of really nice sweaters for about three euro each.
Dublin!

Arrived yesterday in Dublin, it's really neat here. Today we took a walking tour around Dublin that was focused on the uprising of 1916 against the British, the timin I interesting because two days ago they ratified their entry into the EU. Apparently the first vote only a few months ago was no, but the government took the position that they really wanted it to happen and they would keep voting until it did. This of course was the opinion of someone who voted no.
