walking,walking and then more walking

We switched hostels today and are now staying at the brewery hostel next to the Guinness storehouse. Walking from hostel to hostel was a long walk that we made two more times today for dinner and back...legs hurting but will have strong calfs soon :)

Guinness tour was amazingly fun and of course we had our free drink at the end in the gravity bar with spectacular views of Dublin.

Called home this evening to the fams and everyone sounded well.

We are currently watching family fortune the British version of family feud...a little strange

hot, sexy men, all around. yessssssss. :) had encouters with some of them...hoooooooooray!
and cougars....(we've made a secret sign when we spot them...good times)

everyone walks ridiculously fast!!! and they are all quiet in this clean city. very strange, but great.

the double decker buses are wonderful. wish sf would get them.

we went to malahide castle today. gorgeous. old. from 1180's. many pictures to follow.

women have tiny boobs here. NO LIE! we are the most big chested girls you could imagine. the boys seem to like it, we dont mind :)

and we shall leave with our fave quotes so far....
"i don't know where it is, MY BAG ATE IT!!!!"

and

"i dont know how to spell....but i can spell bitch".....ireland soap opera. LOVE IT!

thats all for now. enjoy.

allison and lex

captain's log.......

jet lagggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg......

we made it! we made it! we made it!

we arrived in dublin yesterday morning at 6:30 in the morning....ugh. overnight flight but with the time difference there really wasn't a possibility of sleep. anyways, yesterday was amazing but pretty much the longest day of our lives. saw so much, drank so so so much coffee and walked further than i think i've walked in months. this city is gorgeous.
today is day two and after some much needed sleep last night our bodies are still fighting us with this time difference. its an 8 hour difference between here and sf....not an easy transition. even with being on the east coast before hand, it didnt help. so we're all sorts of screwed up but having a blast!
the hostel is pretty cool, we are sharing a room with 6 other girls. 2 are french and pretty sure they don't speak english, one is austrailian and she had been traveling europe for 10 weeks so it was cool to talk to her last night, one is german and adorable, very chatty.....the other two have no faces or nationality as of yet because we haven't seen them or met them....just heard them come in last night and wake up at some ungodly hour this morning. so far so good though.

i'll try to post some pictures within the next few days, we're in an internet cafe and paying for it so i don't want to spend too much time uploading and going through them...and i just got my five minute warning!

love to you all!
and ill call home this weekend!

kisses!!xoxoxoxo
