After a beautiful sunny day on Saturday spent walking around the city, we were astounded to wake up on Sunday to another sunny and pleasant day. As the sun doesn’t often shine for multiple days in a row, we decided to take advantage of our day off. After fighting our way against the current of thick crowds headed towards the local stadium (we still aren’t sure what sport it is… some kind of Gaelic soccer or rugby type game), we took a train called the DART to a cute coastal town called Greystones. There is a cliff walk about 7 km along the coastline of the Irish Sea that leads from Greystones to the town of Bray along beautiful rocky shores. It was perfect because it was warm outside, but the sun was hidden behind the clouds so it wasn’t hot either. After about an hour and a half, we made it to Brey and rewarded ourselves with ice cream on the beach. Pictures are up on Snapfish.

Upon returning to Dublin, we were pretty exhausted and went to sleep early to prepare for our first full work week. Sarah is working at UCD (University College Dublin) as a personal assistant to the vice president of research at the university. The job has a lot more responsibility than she anticipated, but she thinks it will be a good experience since she has never worked in an office before. Erin is temping for an insurance company as a typist on a week to week basis—keep your fingers crossed that it lasts for a while! Erica is working as a receptionist at Abbey Court Hostel on Bachelor’s Quay (right on the river). It’s a great feeling to finally be settled and be able to enjoy and relax when we’re not working!
