From the book itself....

"It was in Warwick Castle that I came across the curious stranger whom I am going to talk about. He attracted me by three things: his candid simplicity, his marvelous familiarity with ancient armor, and the restfulness of his company-- for he did all the talking. We fell together, as modest people will, in the tail of the herd that was being shown through, and he at once began to say things which interested me. As he talked along, softly, pleasantly, flowingly, he seemed to drift away imperceptibly out of this world and time, and into some remote era and old forgotten country; and so he gradually wove such a spell about me that I seemed to move among the specters and shadows and dust and mold of a gray antiquity, holding speech with a relic of it!"

Weekend in Dublin

Hello!

I just had a fantastic three days in Galway and now have the whole week off of classes! Gotta love being in Ireland for St. Patrick's Day!

The link here is the video from my weekend in Dublin last week. I didn't have time to get the video cut during the week with the reading I had to get done for class, so here it is now.

It was the first time since I've been here that I have spent any time in Dublin outside of the train stations, and we had a blast. We walked around the city, toured the Kilmainham jail, and spent the night exploring and experiencing the Temple Bar district. Enjoyed tons of great music and had many, many laughs along the way.

Hope you enjoy it!

Also, look for the Galway videos and stories coming later in the week!
