Today's was very uneventful, mainly because our plans to visit two landmarks were cancelled due to Jimmy waking up sick. And because he actually did not wake up early enough, there was hardly any time to do anything at all.
Jimmy was so sick that he was not even able to go to the theater and help in the running of the show. His absence had consequences during the show for lights were either early or late or never happened and images were either earlier or late or stay on screen too long. Such in the gamble with live theatre.
Since I was by myself, after the show I decided to take a different walking route. The image on above left is of a theatre and the image on the right is of an official city sign letting you know where the "Leprechaun Museum" is located. They have a Leprechaun Museum!!!! I must go and see what is all about it.
Since this was a very short day without much to do, I am now listing some of the peculiarities I've seen while in Dublin. These observations are my own and by no means the official list of truths:
1-I
have heard people speak too many different languages: American English, British
English, Scottish, Irish English, Gaelic, Mexican Spanish, Latin American
Spanish, Spanish from Spain, French, Swahili, Chinese, and lots and lots and
lots of Italian. I LOVE IT!!!
2-The days are long. The sun comes up at 5:30 AM and doesn’t go down until around 10PM.
3-Business close by 7pm and “After Hours” closes at 9pm.
4-Restaurants close by 10pm.
5-People start going to the pubs around 6pm.
6-Pubs close around 2am.
7-Bars and dance clubs close at 2am, 3am, 4am, and 5am.
8-Parks close their doors (literately) at 8pm and do not open the doors until 8am.
9-Dublin is divided into sections: Dublin 1, Dublin 2, Dublin3 etc... The odd numbers are on the north side of the river, the even numbers on the south side of the river. That River is River Liffey, which runs smack in the middle of Dublin.
10-There are Irish citizens who have red hair... but there are more who don’t.
