We went to several pubs on this night, started out at one on Dame St. A main strip in Dublin. We met some New Yorkers at the next table and one of them took a fancy to me...I was not so enthusiastic about this seeing as though he was clearly older and then told us he had been married, divorced and also had a child. He bought us a round of Baby Guinness shots though, basically Guinness and Bailey's and later told me he liked me in the best possible way. He was sweet enough and actually came out of the bar to say goodbye to me. We later walked to Temple Bar where we had a shot of Jameson for traditions sake but it was overly crowded so we decided to come back out onto a main strip and try to find somewhere the actual residents of Dublin would frequent. We ended up at a place called Dandelion that had a live band. We met a group of Irish people, many of whom were pilots in the Irish Air Force. We spent the night chatting with them and finished the night off at a club called Disey's that had no understanding of the words 'crowd control' or 'over capacity'. The club was set up nicely though and had an outdoor courtyard and three levels, one of which looked out onto the courtyard from above. All the Irish folks we were with though, said the upper level 'was crap because they only let famous people up there...unless you know someone whose already up top'.
All in all a good night and a nice taste of the Dublin night life. The cab driver who took us home made fun of me though because I said that all I wanted when I got home was my pj's and a cup of tea...
My first taste of Guinness: I've discovered I hate Guinness....
