That night Sam and I went to several pubs in the Temple Bar area and had a great time with various Irishfolk. At one point we were cheered "to the hillbillies of North Dakota" (we found a bachelor party and they loved the USA) The next day I went to mass where it was spoken in Irish. Then Sam and I strolled several city parks and found the pub, Whelan's, where the bar scene from the movie PS I Love You was filmed. Though it wasn't open till later that evening...we decided to go back that night. We went to the Guinness Storehouse and found how Guinness was made, advertised, and even how to properly po
ur and drink a Guinness. The experience totally changed my views on Guinness and Sam and I savored our pints at the top of the building where there was the best city view of Dublin in the Gravity Bar. We chatted with 2 girls from Australia that were staying at our hostel and had a fun time talking to the Irish bartender. We went back to the hostel and asked the long brown-haired elvish looking Irish deskworker where a good place to go away from the tourists. He told us of a few pubs that were close to Whelan's and after grabbing supper we went to Whelan's and I saw where Gerard 
Butler sang his song to Hilary Swank when they first met and after listening to some indie music Sam and I went on to another pub where we met a nice Irish woman that noticed we were from out of town. The next morning Sam and I got up before 5:30am, briskly walked to the bus and arrived at the Dublin airport from the top of a double-decker bus. We both made it safely back to our universities and I still keep in touch with John Ruddy.
