after running some errands (returned my tights from AA, and picked up my purse) dad and i got some lunch and ate in St. Stephen Greens park. so nice out today!

i even got a tiny tiny tan line from my skirt ha! after that we moved on to Ftizsimons were we both took a drink on their rooftop terrace. can anyone inform me as to why there are so many hen and stag parties here in dublin?? (bachelorette and bachelor parties for you americanas!) anyways today was the ideal day considering its supposed to rain for the next couple of days!

me and pappa! did you guys have a good saturday??

so jonas and rebecca are here we went out last night and today we chilled on the rooftop terrace for a while before heading into town and laying around in st. stephens green and then some shopping! so yeah dad didnt get to have his surgery today because there were two emergency cases that came in, so hes leaving for dubai tomorrow and then well see how the rest goes!

today has been WONDERFUL! the weather is absolutely amazing. i started the day by sleeping till noon hehe and then i ate breakfast in the sun on the porch. then me and dad headed into town were we bought some lunch and desserts and then layed out in st. stephens green for a while. we both read our books and enjoyed the weather. little did i know i was getting burned! yes, thats right i got a sunburn in dublin ireland! the city known for its rain. this is marvelous. lets just hope it doesnt peel, we wouldnt want that. then we continued on home.. where the door is not working once again (oh do i have a story to write about tomorrow ) anyways so pinky opened the door for us and told us that everyone was on the penthouse terrace. so up we went. lovely. the view, the weather, everything. i love days like this. now were gunna get ready for dinner and probably some dancing tonight whoo hoo, gotta love bank holiday weekends.

ahh see! dad sitting on the park bench and enjoying the sun. we went back to stephens green, not on purpose just ended up there. we got some left over bread and went down to feed elliott, but he was nowhere in sight. so we walked and ended up there. stopped at a store bought two muffins and a diet coke for me and a coffee for papi. it was so nice to just sit in the sun. the wind was nowhere to be found so it was warm. almost too warm for my uggs. i was going to feed the swans and ducks there, but by the looks of all the people and bread around they werent hungry so i ended up sitting next to an old lady feeding the pigeons. yep. thats me. 

then after soaking up all the sun we could get we went on a further walk. ended up seeing the first pub i ever went to in Dublin go up in flames. heres a picture of the firefighters trying to put the fire out. crazy smoke and water flowing on the street outside.

we then continued our ‘little’ walk that turned into a 5 hour walk. we ended up at irelands oldest pub! dad had a guinness like usual. from the pictures i put up it looks like hes an alcoholic. i swear he doesnt drink that much he works too! he works ten times more than he drinks, i just dont find those pictures interesting. 

after all of that we then went to have dinner at diwali or something like that.. indian food. i like! no i love! i had masala with chick peas. yummy yummy. then we walked home too. by the time we got home i was HOT from the speed walking and the sun and just my luck.. the elevator was broken. so up we go 6 flights of stairs. makes me wonder if all i do at the gym does nothing for me? times like those im happy we dont live in the penthouse! anyways i think i got my fair share of exercise today even if i didnt go to the gym this morning!

yep. thats what my ‘walk’ turned into. me and dad went into the city centre for a ‘snack’ we passed a japanese restaurant and i havent eaten edamame in SEVEN months. so dad drank a beer, and we both got our own bowl of edamame. yummy in my tummy.

then we decided to go to the st. stevens green park. always walked by it but never in it so why not? turns out its actually very pretty. swans and many many flowers. its so weird that such a calm place exists in the middle of a bustling city!

now im sitting here listening to funhouse, getting ready for the pink concert this weekend while dad makes dinner. taco friday! loves it. miss you emmelie.
