lá a dó (Day two)

So not that much to report for today. Ran some errands..bought food, toilet paper, the essentials. What was actually really great was this evening. One of the people I've been wandering around with, from Boston College, is really into Irish music, and is also really good at the fiddle, and he knew about a pub that has sessions on Monday nights so we headed over there. IT WAS SO COOL you don't even know!!! There were like eight musicians: three fiddles, a flute, uillean pipes, accordion, whistle, concertina, guitar...ah...this is why I came to Ireland. I recorded a couple songs and will upload them when I have more time.

Tomorrow is orientation, hopefully I will gain some insight as to how courses and such work because I start class on Wednesday...crazy.

Also...started talking to Dan (the fiddle guy from BC) about maybe doing some weekend traveling to places close by, Scotland and so forth which would be amazing.

YES finally getting stoked about being here.

Irish proverb of the day:
Go n-ithe an cat thú is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat
May the cat eat you and the devil eat the cat
