After the shenanigans of last night we all slept in to try and recover. We woke up lounged around and then napped a bit, it was a very lazy day. By the evening we were fully recovered and were planning our night around Dublin Culture Night which is a night every year where museums and galleries are open late and free. It is to encourage people to go out and see things they might not normally see. After a little dilly dallying we decided to hit the Temple Bar district to see what it had to offer. Since we are constantly trying to expand our intellects, Jake, Adam, Derrick and I went to two galleries in Temple Bar, once again it was a surreal experience with all the people walking. It is really amazing to see. After we finished in the Temple Bar area, we crossed over and went into Dublin Castle. That was awesome as well because it is this old school castle that is in the middle of a modern city. Once on the grounds we decided to go to the Chester Beatty Library, which was the European Museum of the year in 2002! It was actually cool to see, it had old books from all over the world on one floor and then ancient religious books on the next. Some of the books were thousands of years old, which is amazing to think about. There are also some paintings in the library that are really cool. After finishing up there we met up with Kayleen and her beautiful roommates. From there we went to 4 Dame Lane which is a pretty badass club because there is no sign for it, only two cauldrons of fire above the door. That is how I want to mark my house someday. We were there because the European Business School (the place that Jake, Adam, Brian and I are taking a class) was hosting a party for all of its students. It was cool because there were a bunch of Europeans there (someone needs to introduce deodorant to a majority of Europeans because they have some bad body odor). After leaving there Jake, Derrick and I got some delicious Burger King and then headed home and called it a night.
