Last Leg

So I have spent my last evening in Ireland in Dublin. An excellent choice (as well as convenient) I though, as I do quite love this city. Now, I love it even more. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day so I enjoyed walking through all the different areas and shopping districts. Plus I finished off my shopping that I wanted to do!..and then some...oh well. It is my last day in Europe for awhile. Unfortunately this was after I had finished my packing, so I got to do it all over again. I think I was rather effective at it though.
After I dropped my stuff off back at the hostel, I decided I needed one last good Irish meal, so I asked the desk guy at the hostel for a recommendation. Wow, was it amazing! Best meal I've eaten in Ireland, and I've really liked the food here so far! The restaurant was called Gallagher's Boxty House, and they were known for their potato dumplings. So I thought I would try them. I got the small one so that I could get dessert too. I wish I hadn't. I scraped my dish completely clean and was still craving more. So then I went for their dark chocolate cake with sauce and ice cream. Equally amazing. I was stuffed, and still wished I had more in front of me.
I also got to walk around the Temple Bar area, which I hadn't made it to yet, for unknown reasons. This is my third mini trip here in two weeks, I'm not really sure what my deal there was. Especially when it turned out to be so awesome. Live music and buskers all over the place, a drunk homeless guy dancing in the middle of the street to some of the buskers (It looked like a cross between the hokey-pokey and the chicken dance), food and the smells of all over the place. Plus tons of signs for the Leprechaun Museum, which I wish I had known about sooner. Oh well, guess I'll have to come back! Darn... :)
