6月16日爱尔兰第一天
爱尔兰, June 16, 2024
Our first day in 爱尔兰 was packed and our program got off to a really good start. Sunday morning, Meg, Riley and Cavainna met the group arriving from Boston in 都柏林 at 8:30 a.m. 都柏林的时间.
我们喝咖啡, connected with our taxi service, and headed for the residences at University College 都柏林 where most of us were able to check into our rooms right away.
We all stowed our gear and headed straight back into the city on the 39A bus.
Even though most of us were thoroughly jet lagged, we pushed through it and took our first of many walking tours of the city.
We got off the bus near St. Stephen’s Green and, because we arrived on Bloomsday—the yearly celebration of the great novel 《亚洲博彩平台排名》 by James Joyce—we got to see bits of the event firsthand. 在杜克街, we heard a live rendition of the song "On Raglan Road" written by the poet Patrick Kavanagh. All along Grafton Street we were serenaded by buskers. We walked past Trinity College to the Liffey, the river that runs through the center of 都柏林, dividing its north side from its south side.
From there, we returned to Stephen’s Green and spent some time with the wildlife...
…then headed over to Chatham Street and Sheehan’s Pub where we had our first group meal—fish and chips, 吉尼斯派, 香肠和土豆泥, 盆盆肉, 和汉堡. The atmosphere was great, and the food was very good.
We did a bit of grocery shopping in Marks and Spencer’s before we got back on the bus to UCD. Most of us turned in very early. We had a really good first day!
