So I am in Dublin this weekend with UCC's Choral Society...
 |
| Here is the place we invaded for the weekend--it is quite unassuming and actually kind of cute on the outside. It looks like it would be nice,comfy, cozy place. Inside was quite different than what I expected... |
There was a rainbow room and a shamrock room and even a hammock room...full of hammocks!
Where we were staying has the most psychedelic interior decor!
 |
| There was some pretty strange art on the walls of the entire place, but perhaps most disturbing was the art that was to be found in the stairwell... |
 |
| I saw this each morning when walking down to breakfast...eek |
|
This is the rainbow room, in case you hadn't already guessed. It was large enough to be a military barracks! The whole choir fit in there!
 |
| My friend Mia posted something on my Facebook wall a little while ago--something about young people leaving Ireland.This was the picture that accompanied said article. I saw this billboard outside of the hostel we were staying at, so I thought I would take a photo of it :) |
Directly across the street from where we were staying was this view...it was nice, except when we narrowly escaped being shit upon by seagulls overhead.
 |
| There was beautiful street art everywhere, I tried to take pictures of most of it... the graffiti here is so much more interesting that what I am used to seeing in Chicago. C'mon Chicago, it's time to step it up! |
 |
| We had our workshop from 10-4 inside Trinity College Dublin. I remember being here six years ago or so and vowing I would take classes here. I would (obviously) eventually choose to study in Cork, but in a way I still kept my vow! |
 |
| Imagine my surprise when I was handed music and it turned out to be the original copy I had at the beginning of the year! (we had to turn in our music at the end of each rehearsal) I know this one was mine because on the last page is the list I made when Aliette and I were trying to name all the dwarves from the Hobbit... |
 |
| saw this on a classroom door on campus... I am still not sure why it is there. |
 |
| I know it's an old joke... but we still thought it was cute. |
 |
| Candy shop! Dieuwke and stopped to see if they had licorice, they did, and they let us try some--made me happy :) |
 |
| I remembered this place from 6 years ago! |
 |
| Christ church cathedral--nice place, we were gonna go to service in the morning but decided to go to the Guinness Storehouse and see the Book of Kells instead. |
More street art!
Part 2 coming soon!
