Great Craic in Northern Ireland

WOW!!...it definitly just took me like 10 years to get into this damn blog. Apparently Im a bit slow and have problems remembering my actual name is my user name...i can see how that could easily confuse..
ANYWAYS....
Super glad, i took a chance on heading away with strangers for the weekend...i feared it might turn out abit dodgy but it actually turned out to be absolutely amazing. The birthday celebration we attended was in a small town (warren point i believe) just about 40 minutes south of Belfast. Friday nite, when we arrived there was a bbq...o god how i have missed the taste of bbqed chicken...and then we ate the most amazing strawberries and ice cream with butterscotch sauce..o man it was fabulous. But the best part of the evening was actually the wooden horse races at the fundraiser we went to. Little wooden rocking horses were attached to strings which were then wheeled in by a jockey who was facing the wall opposite from it. (ill put pictures up explaining soon). I actually convinced one of the jockies to part with his first place ribbon, which turned out to be my most favorite accessory of the weekend. Such a great nite. The next day we helped to decorate the banquet room for the party, though i wasnt much help bc im actually not capable of blowing up balloons. At nite loads more people came down from dublin, and the celebration began. Dinner and dessert at the house, then we all hopped on a bus and drove to the pub. 21st bdays are very exciting here, it involves 21 kisses and speeches....amazing. I learned how to snorkel, a new and exciting way of chugging fruity drinks. All and all i would say it was a very successful nite. Sunday we tidyed up and headed to a pool, for a little sunning. I believe i actually heard on the irish girls say "i feel like im on the oc"...hhhaha. We missed the hunger striker commerative march, but i imagine it was pretty grand. Then we returned to Dublin, all rested and ready for the work week...that makes me sad...hahah.
