dublin day 6 - the day without pictures

july 20, 2007

i woke up this morning as luise was leaving for work - around 8am. i could hear that it was pouring outside. i went back to sleep. i was hung over anyway. i woke up again as jake went to work - around 9am. it was still pouring outside. and i was still hungover. so i went back to sleep. i finally woke up for good around 11:30am. jake had left me a note saying that his work was throwing a happy hour around 4pm and that i should stop by. by the time i putzed around, uploaded photos, wrote some blog entries and took a shower, my hangover almost completely gone, it was 3pm. the rain had stopped so i headed out on the 2.5 mile trek to jake's office.

it was a nice walk down by the channel that would've been much nicer if the weather had been pleasant. but i enjoyed it anyway. and the happy hour was a good time. i got to chat with a bunch of irish architects about san francisco and dublin.

after the happy hour, jake, his co-worker rory and i headed for downtown dublin to meet up with denis's cousin sylvia for dinner. we went to a restaurant called cafe bar deli. apparently there are more than one in the city because sylvia was at one and we were at another. by the time we figured it out, sylvia had to try to find us in the rain.

dinner was a great time. i enjoyed meeting sylvia and rory. denis is landing in dublin on sunday and hopefully i will get to hang out with him and sylvia and meet more of his relatives on sunday evening.
