New Place

Today was our first full day in the new flat. My attempt to sleep in this morning was thwarted by a random individual literally jackhammering outside our flat. This comtinued well into the afternoon. Apparently, he was attempting to shorten the sidewalk that goes alongside the building.We will see what continues to go on in the next few days.
It was really great to be able to sleep in and get some much needed rest. After brunch at the Moda Cafe, our first adventure as a flat was to the local Tesco (the grocery store near by). There is also an Aldi, but apparently it is not as good. Thne experience was weird, we had to rent a shopping cart for 1 Euro, in addition to bringing our own bags. Ireland charges for plastic bags, and they don't typically have paper bags outside of retailers. We managed to buy alot of the things we wanted as a house, but I will need to make a trip on my own to get some more stuff. After we hauled all of the groceries home, Megan and I went to Boots. Boots is kind of like a CVS with alot less selection. Megan and I got a much needed hair straightener, and other necessities.
After some lounging time, we took the Dublin Bus into town to go to Penney's to get the last of our bedding and towels. Being adventurous we chose to walk back. After a few broken bags, we made it to Lissenfield.
We finished our day with dinner at local hangout Jo'Burger. Very delicious, with a live DJ. Bizarre but amazing.

Tomorrow is Megan's 20th burthday, hopefully we can find something to do!
