My Grand Adventure: Guinness Storehouse & Celtic Women Concert

January 24, 2015 – Saturday

Today I got some rest. Yahoo! I slept great last night and got up about mid-morning today. I met up with Soes and Jacob at noon today and we went to the Guinness Storehouse. Yep. The good old beer making factory here in Dublin! It is huge! They have a little museum sort of thing set up and so we walked around that for a couple hours and then went up to the top floor where they have a 360 view of Dublin! It was beautiful. I enjoyed a nice glass of lemonade! Yum! After the storehouse we went to the grocery store and picked up some food for lunch and then went back to Jacob’s place and ate sandwiches and had some chocolate for lunch and just chatted.

Soes I went to the Celtic Women concert tonight! We had the most amazing experience ever! So we got there about an hour early and found our seats. They were terrible to be honest. We of course had gotten the cheapest we could find and they were on the very edge of the stage, in the back and you couldn't even see the back half of the stage. They were bad. But we kept a good attitude about it and went and walked around. We eventually wandered back to our seats and sat down. Still about an hour until show time. Then this guy walks up who works for the 3 Arena venue. And he asks the two girls behind us if they want better seats and then looks at Soes and I and asks if we want to come as well. So he gives us tickets right in the middle of the audience! Best seats ever! And then gives us access to the VIP lounge! What!? It was awesome. I’ve never had anything like that ever happen before. So we went up to the VIP lounge and got chatting with the two girls. They are going to school on exchange in Cork and are from the states. So cool! We stayed up there for about 45 minutes and talked and then we went back down to our seats and enjoyed the most amazing show ever! It was beautiful! I loved it! Such a great night!
