Dublin is old and crowded

We’ve been here a little over 24 hours now, and the first impressions are mostly good. Dublin is definitely old … we’ve seen things that are close to 1000 years old … not too many of those back home. The crowds here are unbelievable. The busiest place I’ve ever been in NA is Times Square in NYC … there are dozens of streets here that seem just as busy. Back when the Vikings were laying out the streets and sidewalks way back when, they weren’t really planning for these crowds. A little foresight would have gone a long way.

If you’re up for a good story someday, ask us about the amazing snore machine from night #1. Big, fat, stinky and drunk plus snoring made for one very eligible bachelor. Charming.

We are here.
