"Sie sind da"--it's the first thing I say whenever I arrive someplace new. My first big trip was in high school, to Germany, and I was horribly homesick, until one day I went biking throughout the village we were staying and there were posters everywhere for the movie POLTERGEIST with the tagline "Sie sind da".
Anyway, I am here. Day 1 was lovely. The weather, albeit windy, was (is) perfect.
I'm staying at this cute little hotel "31"--hidden away amongst Georgian brownstones. Was told by the innkeeper--to get going. I did a few touristy things--a quick tour of Dublin re: the "hop-on, hop-off" bus. (Note they have a duck boat here--but they call it the "Viking boat" and instead of quacking, everyone wears a viking hat and roars.) From there toured through the jail and the gardens of the Dublin MOMA.
Afterwards, I went to the "Brazen Head" and watched the 'boys in blue' win their match against Kerry. It was a grand time. More later--as I must 'get going'.
PS. That's Em.mie in the photo above.
