Where did I leave off?

I went to Howth yesterday, which is about a 30 train ride from Dublin's city center. It was nice to get into the countryside for a while, even if it was a bit windy (you wouldnt have liked it, mom). The trails around the peninsula are amazing. There's an old lighthouse at the very tip with a vicious guard dog keeping watch. Not actually that viscious.

We came back to UCD and went to Traditional Music Night at the campus venue. Pretty funny stuff. It was packed, first of all, and there was a band of about 8 students playing traditional Irish instruments. Since the drinking age is 18, the school can actually serve alcohol, and the students actually want to go to school sponsored events instead of trying to have their own private house parties. Novel idea!
