Yesterday, we planned on going on a Hop on-Hop off bus tour of Dublin. However, we stepped outside our door and BEHOLD! there was an open air food and craft market right across the street from us. Needless to say, we didn't get very far! We spent a few hours there just perusing the stalls and tasting many different foods. Incredible. I (Asha) even met a Hot Irishman! He is perfect... nicely tanned, sweet and delicious!
....he was fudge, from Man of Aran (http://www.manofaranfudge.ie/) ;)

We then walked down to Grafton Street, one of the main shopping streets in Dublin. It's nice to just walk around and take in the spirit and atmosphere of Dublin . We visited Trinity College, then went to an AMAZING Indian restaurant called Mantraa (http://www.mantraa.ie/). It was a quaint little undergrounnd place...we all loved it and spent about 3 hours there. I (Asha) had the Dal Tadka Masala - cumin, fresh garlic, and red onion tempered lentil curry. I was in heaven :) Everything here in Ireland is much more laid back and slower paced than the States...it's actually very nice, we are enjoying relaxing and doing things whenever we please. We spend lots of time laughing about inside jokes and random things...getting all 4 of us together = lots of hilarious moments!
Today is a dreary day, but still fun :) We went to a pub, where Joan and Kelsi had fish and chips, Sue had bangers and mash (both very traditional Irish grub), and I had potato and leek soup. We went to Tescoe and bought some chocolates, now getting ready to go exploring :)
Cheers until next time,
Asha for the group
