Yes, I’m back in the Emerald Isle! I really can’t keep myself away for long.
(Okay, before I get into things, I have to admit that this is technically an account of my second day, but since I arrived late the day prior — and was utterly exhausted — I didn’t get a chance to do much exploring. So, I’m labeling it as day 1.)
Much to my excitement, I’d booked a room in a Trinity College dorm (I believe this is only possible in the summer when many of the students are gone). So in the morning I simply woke up, got some breakfast at the dining hall, and then came back outside for a guided tour of the campus.
