Thursday, May 23rd, started out like any other normal day in Ireland for the group.  Louie joined us for a cup of coffee with brekky before setting our sites on a visit to the EPIC Irish Emigration Museum in Dublin.  While there we were amazed by the history and influence of Irish culture around the globe.  Having never gone in-depth into their history, we were amazed at the sheer number of Irish peoples in diaspora. 

The amazement didn’t stop there, though.  The museum itself was a technological masterpiece.  Many of the exhibits were interactive and allowed visitors to learn at their own pace.  This excited our nerdy little psychological hearts.  Louie also gave his adamant support of the visit, giving the museum 10 out of 10 feathers.  Before leaving, he insisted that we leave valuable feedback and recommend that EPIC give our tour guide chocolate for the exceptionally informative journey she took us on.



Louie was bit peckish, so we decided to get lunch at the Boat Bar and Restaurant.  There we had an amazing meal afloat the Dublin Harbor which leads to the Celtic Sea.  Not long into lunch, though, Louie went rogue.  We found him mid-aqueous-escape, he had jumped overboard!  In a state of distress, we asked some local gentlemen for assistance and they valiantly rescued poor Louie from the waterways.  

Having had a most adventurous day, we decided to turn early.  Not before taking a moment to reflect on the day’s lessons and bask in the beauty that is the city of Dublin. ---Rex & Aryn
