Crepe party :)

Anke and I had a little crepe party before she left :) Oh look at her mastering that crepe throwing! :) :P Such mad skillz!

Night out at the pub

On Saturday night we went out to one of the pub in the Temple bar area - my fav part of town-, a blast :D Anke broke her record and drank 1/2 a pint :) Not bad Anke ;) I am SO proud of you! We did some nice sing alongs too...oh glad it was only the two of us. I'll do another "American Pie" with you anytime!!!!

Anke visiting!

My friend Anke, who studied with me at the University of Arizona and a big salsa friend of mine, came to Dublin this weekend to visit me :) Luckily she came during the first and only weekend without rain this summer!!! Lucky her :) Of course she keeps telling me that she is the one who brought the sunshine :P uh uh. We went around the city, had nice dinners, chilled at home, walk around through temple bar and went to the farmer's market......and got yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum Butler's hot chocolate! :D We are ALL about food! The Dublin castle where currently has a great sand statue exhibit in the courtyard. The theme: Irish writers. Very impressive! My favorite piece was Gulliver's travels'..I was just surprised that they manage to keep them up given all the rain of these past few days :)

We also went to Church to have a pint of Guinness.....well, let me explain for those of you who are starting to wonder :D The place I call the Church - I say, I call because it's not it's real name- is an old Church that was reconverted in a nice bar//loundge. One of my fav han outs here, and they often have nice music to add to the atmosphere. Those Irish, let me tell you....they really can't hold their drinking :)
