The Adventure: Thursday

Last Thursday morning, I met Jenny and James outside the Jury's Inn in downtown Belfast where their bus from the Dublin airport got in. We were all tired, but it was so great to see each other! After heading back to the 'mansion' for showers and some breakfast, we headed back into town.

It was a really low key of day of walking around - with a stop at Primark for some cheap clothes. I ran off to class, while Jenny and James walked around town some more and had coffee. They were so exhausted that they said they just sat there and stared at each other. :-)

About 6:30pm, I connected back up with them at Victoria Square with Billy, an older friend from class. Jenny, James, and I were exhausted, so we needed to grab some dinner before we all collapsed and head home to bed. We headed on over to 'The Crown' - the only state owned pub in N. Ireland - and had Beef & Guiness pie - which is absolutely amazing! James had a half-pint of Guiness and Jenny & I split one, just so Jenny could say she'd tried it. :-)

It was so amazing to have them here! I was giddy for the few days before they got here and although we were all tired, it was incredible! I'll fill you in over the next few days about our adventures to the North Coast, Downpatrick Castleward, Crawfordsburn, and Dublin.

[Oh yeah, they also brought 'Christmas in March' with them. My dad just got an iPhone, which he loves, so he sent me his old PALM Treo 750. I'm loving it and it was totally like Christmas to have a new toy. Got it going that first day Jenny and James came in, so they were able to have a phone to call their boys and my mom everday while they were here.]
