Today, i had thought about hopping on a bus and seeing Newgrange, but the weather was more aligned to staying in bed and reading a book. Apart from the weather, i'm kind of feeling over the top about seeing more sights, so decided not to bother. Instead, i had a low key day, just walked around Temple Bar, ate a very cheap lunch (and my stomach now tells me how cheap it was....ugh, the Sheppard's Pie had mystery meat in it), and got my laundry done. At 4:30 on a Friday, i realized that i still had the 200 Euro check given to me in Killarney by pub owner John Lyne, to purchase red and white Hawaiian shirts for him on my return to Maui. (He's a huge Manchester United Football fan, and those are the team colors). It still amazes me that he gave me a guaranteed bank cheque for that amount, without even asking me for any details about my ID, address, etc. But that's the Irish honor code at work. The banks were closed already though, and i wasn't sure if my little ol Maui bank would cash a check drawn from a foreign bank on foreign currency, so I coughed up a 20 Euro charge and got it cashed at one of those "we don't ask questions, but we will hose you to cash it" type places....got the euros converted to American dollars (losing about 50$ in the conversion/cash charging scheme). Hopefully, John Lyne will appreciate the effort involved and wear the red and white Hawaiian shirts in my honor upon receipt. Tomorrow's my last full day in Dublin, and i'll spend part of the afternoon with John and Dara, my newly adopted Irish brothers. Maybe the weather will even clear up. It's all good.
