Dublin at a non-continental hostel eg. one with cooking facilities and went nuts, satisfying our [canned?] food [craving?] with macaroni and cheese and soup (instant) for dinner.

DAY 36:

We decided to spend the day in Dublin and environs before moving on, and stuck to it through the stop and start torrential rain we got all day long. We sepnt the morning at Trinity College, saw the gorgeous [lay library?] with an exhibit on modern Irish [literary?] people and the Book of Kels, we wandered around a little longer looking at the great state buildings and decided that it would be a nice place to go to school. We then moved on to a little town about a half hour away by bus called Howth. We clambered up and around the 'summit' of the town for beautiful views of the Irish sea and town itself, and saw the little church but the rain started again and we couldn't find a place to have tea so we went back to Dublin. After dinner we went to the Abby Theatre (Irish National Theatre) and saw a play called A Life -- very good with one day in 4 people's [lives?] going on in one part of the satge, the episodes they refer to on their lives on another part of the stage and a central part used by both.

DAY 37:

Travelling again, down south west to Killarney this time, and didn't arrive until about 4:00 or 5:00 walked 3.5 miles to the hostel (actually longer, had to get to town from the train station too) and of course it started raining on us again, and we were quite wet before an older coupe insisted on giving us a ride about the last quarter to half a mile when we asked directions - great people all over this country. Managed to get a place to sleep on the floor, and just read and wrote all night - very relaxing
