Day Fourteen: May 30, 2015
Today was our free day. I read a good chunk of The Return of the King. because I was up early and we weren't going to set out until 10:30. We went straight to the market area. That was so cool! (I've never actually been to an outdoor market like that before,) It reminded me of the free fair a little bit, with all the stands and such. Our group was separated somewhere in there. We started with eleven of us and ended up with six. We never found the others, so we went to find lunch. We went to an Italian restaurant and I had an open bread panini. Afterwards, we headed in the general direction of Butler's Chocolate Cafe (!!), making a few stops along the way, including one at a music store. That's where I bought my older brother's gift. I'd been having a hard time trying to find him something, because I just really don't know what he would want. Hopefully he likes the drum. We also stopped at a few jewelry stores and I tried, in vain, to find something for my sister. I just don't know what to get her. It's too much pressure! But anyway, we went to Butler's and I got another mint hot chocolate...and a box of chocolates to make chocolate at home. I'm so excited! Then we wandered up the street to TK Maxx (which is basically TJ Maxx). [Friend B] and I rode up and down the escalators while everyone else used the toilets. After that we found a huge mall. It was weird though. You walk into this alleyway thing and you're a bit scared for your life and bam! You're in this huge shopping centre! We stopped at Burger King because [Friend A] wanted some fries. While were there [Friend C] and I took some gorgeous pictures in a Frozen cut out thing. (I was Anna and [Friend C] was Elsa). And then we found the book store. I tried to resist, I really did. But Maskerade was really calling to me. I heard it! And I was, of course, drawn to the Irish copy of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, as I have been in every book store I've been in. Each time, I pick it up, think about getting it, and then put it back down. I'm not sure who eventually convinced me to just get it ([Friend B] or [Friend C]?) but I'm glad I got it. I'm running rather low on euros at this point, so hopefully I can make it to the end of the trip. And hopefully I can find something for Zoie when we go to the Cliffs of Moher tomorrow!! (Fingers crossed...)
