Lazy Days

We had quite the lazy day today and so Katie didn't take many photos. It was really nice out though today and the sun was actually hot. I think it only rained once for a couple minutes and I've found that any amount of sunshine, no matter how small, brings people flocking to the park with their ice cream. We had to join them of course and so we spent an hour or two in Eyre park just people watching. 

The sunshine also brings out the street performers and we had been watching a young man perform on his guitar when a drunk lady came up and took his microphone and started performing herself. I have to hand it to the kid, he took it in stride. He didn't decide to pack up until another drunk guy came along and started to fight over the microphone with the drunk lady. But he was so nice about it that we all clapped for him as he was leaving and a guy gave him ten euros for his troubles.

We also saw the greyhound racing stadium. It looked a little empty so I guess the horse races were taking all the attention away from it. 
Other than that though we didn't really do much. It was a relaxing day to get ourselves ready to travel again to Dublin tomorrow. At least this will be the last time that we have to pack our things before we go home. Also, more letters!
