30 some years

I love how every Irish person keeps reminding us that this is the coldest winter they have had since 30 some years ago. It is official, features of Michigan are still with me: the ice and snow. Another thing i find interesting is that they have already run out of their shipment of salt from spain. So they use dirt instead or nothing at all. It was so interesting watching the people try to drive on the ice. They were all stepping on the pedal while their wheels just kept a spinning.....They need some good winter tires like my dad put on my car! haha. Im really liking all these little coffee shops around here. The hot chocolate is delish! The pubs are quite fun and interesting. There is one nearby that is a SHORT walk and many of us students go there. I love conversing with the Irish. Things are so different here, it is another world. The only thing i wish is that stores would have bags.... is that too much to ask for??? ANyways walking back next to the Quey(River dividing North and South) everything was foggy. Dublin is so mysterious and it keeps me wanting to see more!!!
