Day 3 (Europe & Going)


The first few days had been stressful,
I think being in Dublin made things a lot harder due to our tight budget.
Everything is so high priced in this city.
McDoubles cost €2 which comes to $2.68
Also they don't have Hot N' Spicy McChickens either :(
I never thought I'd say this but even McDonalds is out of our budget.

We ended up walking our way out of Dublin.. by accident.
We were trying to find a ferry or train out but it was too pricey.
So we found this huge Movie Theater, it was ridiculous.
The place was way to big for its population.
It was about 4 stories high
and only 6-8 people were in there that we saw.
Also they seemed to be obsessed with the movie "Pain & Gain"
The posters for that movie covered every wall, floor tile, and banner.
Anyways we didn't go there to see movies,
We only used that place for a bathroom and a place to charge our phones.

After that we headed south
Aiming for Cork, which is the southern most city.
After walking for a short while out we found an amazing beach.
We spent a good couple hours just grabbing sea shells.
You literally could find any sea shell you wanted.
We ended up taking so many of them
and just walked down the coast.
There was a lot of cool views from the coast,
we even saw this fort/castle thing.
We should have slept there 
and I'll explain that later.
But we did look like true backpackers,
We walked on the walls by the train tracks,
and met a lot of nice strangers.

Our first town we reached we met another crazy guy.
His name was Frank-Quin.
This one made slightly more sense than the last one.
However he was crazy none the less.
It was good talking to him though he was a nice guy.
Then we got super tired as we got in the city.

**BEWARE**
[HIGH WORRY WARNING]
[NOT RECOMMENDED FOR MOTHERS TO READ JUST SCROLL PASSED]

[ALSO NOT THAT RELEVANT]
We took a break on this bench by a red clock tower.
Wished we took a picture of it,
It was spectacular!
But we were so exhausted, our backs could only handle so much.
We just sat there in the middle of the night.
Enjoying our relaxing moment while we could.
Slowly just closing our eyes promising a mini break.
Once I opened my eyes I knew I had fallen asleep. 
I woke up in a panicked state because I had mixed my dream with reality.
I had no idea where I was!
So I told Darien we had to up and go.
Which wasn't that bad of an idea..
It wasn't a safe place to sleep in the first place.
We ended up meeting some girls on the street who were very nice.
No not prostitutes.
Just drunk college girls.
They showed us cheap housing.
But for us it wasn't cheap at all.
So they pointed us in the safest place they recommended to sleep on the streets.
It was a public park that was tiny!
But by rich people, so pretty friendly.
So we set up camp there. 
Slept very little but it seemed to work!
About to further the in betweens of this.
**END**

[MOM YOUR GOOD TO CARRY ON]

Walking the town at night was interesting.
It was a good interesting more the less.
Being that we were exhausted from walking,
And that we were very tired
And it brought on a whole new experience.
Dragging our aching feet barely covering any ground.
It was quiet. No noise, just us.
Thus adding on the loud thoughts.
Hallucination quickly took its opportunity on us.
We kept thinking the other would mention something. 
Plus being dark, quiet, and alone it was easy to get scared. 
Anyone/Anything we saw we would be cautious about.
We walked down a road with tons of stores,
And we saw about 5 girls yelling.
They yelled at us saying "HEYYYY"
Due to our hallucinations we didn't bother to say anything back.
You know, didn't want to look stupid.
So we carried on and we didn't see them as we went on.
We walked all over.
Seriously, it was past tiring at this point.
We couldn't find any good areas to sleep.
Everything just seems to sketch.
Then we ran into a dead end.
Luckily we weren't hallucinating this,
But we found the 5 girls.
They asked about us, our story, 
Who we are, where we're from, yada-yada-yada.
Sorry we didn't take a picture with them. 
They did of us though! 
We're friends on Facebook, hopefully they post it soon!
Anyways.
We had fun going around town with them.
We found this fox they were terrified of.
They said they were vicious,
But Darien and I played with it.
We gave it an orange, it didn't eat it
But it loved us! We've never seen on up close till then.
Anyways it was a fun night and then we slept. 

Anyways the trips been amazing!
People are very friendly.
It's amazing what you can learn from others.
Even if they aren't purposely teaching you something.
Being able to help one another is amazing.
It really brings out the best in us.
This world is huge, and we have much to learn!
Can't wait to see what more this trip has to offer(:

See you again soon!
