U2 Recording Studios & Ghost Tour!!

         Today, we wanted to get up at 8:30 AM, but we ended up getting up at 9:30 AM. We stayed up until about 3 AM last night, and nobody had set any alarms. After we were all up, we decided to try to find a new coffee place to get coffee. The last Coffee place we went to was "Coffee Angel" and we knew of a Coffee place called "Insomnia" nearby. We walked to it, and we got our drinks. There was seating upstairs, and we were the only ones there. Their mocha was good! I also got a blueberry Muffin.

        The Muffin was really good! After that, we walked back to the house to ask my dad if we could go shopping. On Grafton street, if you take 2 side-roads, there is an Arcade. Not a gaming arcade. In Europe, an "Arcade" is like a shopping center or mall. We told my dad, then we started to walk toward the Arcade. When we got there, we walked into all the stores. There was cool clothing stores, jewelry stores, and food. Max, Caleb, and Ben got posters. I got 3 little charm items. We then walked back to our house. 

       Every Thursday, there is a thing in our park where there are tents with different food shops. We went across to check that out. I got tea. Ben got lemonade, and Caleb got a Hot Chocolate. Here's a picture of the park. 

Park right across the street from my house!
      After we visited our park to see the tent market, we went back to the house for a while. At about 4:30 PM, we started to walk down to where my mom works to meet her and her friend Sue, so that we could go check out the U2 Recording Studios. Its where they record their music and there is really cool Graffiti. We met my mom and Sue, then we went down to the U2 Studios. There was a good view, and some nice artwork. Its near the water. 
Right by U2 Recording Studios.
Aparently the red poles are "Trees" and the Green benches are "Grass" 

       We got to where all the cool Graffiti is painted on the walls, and we took lots of pictures. There is a lot of Graffiti and it looks so cool because its just on random buildings that random people created. 
Graffiti!
This is art.
El Papel 
Awesome!1
WOAH... Creepy...

        The art was really cool! It was a fun place to take a lot of pictures. We were done taking pictures, so my mom decided to take us all to a new Coffee place on the way home. It was just a little store, and I got a Latte! It was delicious!
Drinking our Lattes and our Hot Chocolates! (Me and  Max got the Lattes)

     My Mom and Sue had to go back to my Moms work, so Me, Caleb, Ben, and Max walked home. We got home, and we had to eat dinner because we had a Ghost Tour at 8:00 PM. We got home, and my dad was making dinner. He made some bread, and sauce, and he was making Tortellini. It was really good! I ate a lot of it. 

        After we had dinner, we had to quickly get to the place where the Ghost Bus would pick us up. My mom got an Uber, and Sue hailed a cab because we needed 2 cars for all my friends plus my mom and Sue. We got there just on time. We looked at the bus and it looked really cool! 
Ghost Bus IF YOU DARE!!

      We walked on the Bus, and it didn't look like a Bus at all! I walked in, and it looked like a scary hallway in a Haunted House! There was a little room, and upstairs, it was like tables, and really creepy! It was so dark because the curtains it was amazing! Our guide was really enthusiastic. We stopped at Dublin castle, and a Graveyard. Here are some pictures of the inside of the Ghost Bus!

Were so scared lol

       When we went to the Graveyard, he told us a scary story about how a guy on his tour before found his name on a Gravestone at the Graveyard. He said that the man found his name on the Gravestone March 16, and the date that his name died on the Gravestone was, March 17. The man thought it was a sign. Thats pretty weird. I took a lot of cool Black-&-White pictures!

This is cool.
Little area with no roof.
Graveyard <3
     The whole thing was a really fun experience. The guy was really fun, and we visited 2 cool places. The Bus was really cool. I didn't think that the inside of a Bus could look exactly like a Haunted House. Its so cool! I wish I had that Bus. After the Ghost Tour, my Mom and Sue went out, so Me, Max, Ben and Caleb were left with my Google Maps to walk home. The map said it was 31 minutes away, but we ran most of it, and it took us like 15 minutes. We were finally home, and we had to go to bed early so that we could get up early in the morning the next day.

     Tomorrow, we are going to the West part of Ireland for about 3 days. We had to pack some clothes. We are going to be staying in a Bed & Breakfast. We are going over to the West part of Ireland to visit Giants Causeway, and Skellig Michael (the movie at the end of Star Wars The Force Awakens) Its going to be really cool!
