Better

Today I got up, ate breakfast, went to get some cash and then tagged along with some classmates to Phoenix Park. It's such a large park (one of the largest in Europe supposedly) and all very beautiful. This is the kind of nature experience I needed. It was a nice break from the city landscape. We took a bus over there and then started wandering the park. It just seemed the perfect place to sit and read, write post cards, a song, a poem, anything. It was really nice. It was bright and sunny out and the grass was plentiful. There are a few really nice spots I've come across. St. Stephen's Green, which I haven't gotten a chance to go back to (maybe tomorrow), the Garden of Remembrance and Phoenix Park are all beautiful. If you ever go to Dublin, make sure you hit up these places. My roommate was also raving about this "Secret Garden" place tucked up beside St. Stephen's Green. I might like to go, if I have time. Anyway, at Phoenix Park I just sat enjoying the day, writing a couple post cards while one of my classmates was singing and playing his guitar as we sat on the grass beside the Wellington Monument. Then we moved on to a foresty area and another classmate was climbing trees. Then we went to this really old looking building which turned out to be the Magazine Fort, according to our map, but it didn't have any plaques or anything, just plants and graffiti. We even saw some deer. Then we went back to the hotel and later in the evening we went to the Abbey Theatre and saw "The Last Days of a Reluctant Tyrant." It was alright. I couldn't hear very well. Then I went back to the hotel and uploaded pictures from Phoenix Park on facebook. Now it's about 1 am, and I am going to sleep.
