Irish Event Account: Days 1-5

Arrive in Dublin, instantly get slapped with a gratuitous dose of that Irish hospitality from Matt, take off into the countryside visiting the 6th century monastic centre of Glendalough, stop off for a pint at "Ireland's highest pub"(referring to what I believe is altitude), grab a nap, wake up to the glorious tone of Colin's voice, rip up the town for the evening.


Wake up around 2, hit up St. Patrick's Cathedral and learn about the women of Jonathan Swift, account Colin's choir boy days, indulge in some history and a pint on the Guinness tour, take a stroll around Trinity and downtown in the day light, grab a pint at Down Under Bar, a pint at another Irish pub, enjoy dinner with Colin's Dad and lady friend, rip the town apart for the evening.


Wake up around 10, prepare to exit Dublin, change plans over a hearty meal, borrow some wet suits from Colin's Dad's surf shop, visit The Tomb of Newgrange, pick up rental car, grab a bite with Matt, savor some zzzs, meet up with Colin and Matt's hometown boys, hit up a classic Irish pub and The Gaiety Theatre, completely shred the town to pieces for the evening.


Wake up around 2, prepare to leave town, get lost in Dublin, cruise up the road to Sligo, grab a bite at Donaghy's, indulge in a dance at Ireland's largest club, become overjoyed with emotion at the sound of Soulja Boy in Sligo, slice up the dance floor for the evening.


Wake up around noon, grab a bite and a chat with some locals, turn the wrong way down the largest street in Sligo, give Colin a heart attack, drive the coast and visit Colin's future abode, give the liver a much needed rest and straight chill for the evening.
