First thing's first. Last week was relatively calm. A lot of working on our project for the Digital Hub, sprinkled with a few visits to The Pale pub down the street. We have made a lot of progress on what we are going to present to the company, and now we are in our final stretch. My only real complaint about work is that they are very long hours. We work 8:30 to 5:30, which makes it very difficult to explore Dublin at all during the week. Most tourist sites close at 5 or 6 and we can't really go out too late since we have to be up relatively early. However, since we don't work on Fridays, we have found time to explore.
Anyway, on Thursday before we left for London, our class did a group trip to the Guinness factory for a tour during our lunch break. Digital Hub hooked us up, so we didn't have to pay for the tickets which was clutch (especially since I'd just been there a few weeks before with the family!) It was pretty cool, again. We took a guided tour which was different. I am a bigger fan of leading yourself through the factory after doing both, you get more time to explore. We were a little rushed with the tour. Then again, it was completely packed when we went through. However, I had a great time at the Gravity Bar (glass bar with 360 degree view of Dublin) with the roommates, and really enjoyed seeing the whole place again!
After work we raced to get ready to leave for the airport. Our flight was at 7:45, so it was difficult, but luckily we made it! I'm going to split up these blog entries just because there is so much to say about Londontown!
