Today I met up with Alan from the college town of Maynooth. He showed me around and we had a nice bite to eat at a local pub. We then did a little trek through the woods were he got to see his first deer! Afterwards we went to his home for tea and hung out with his house mates. After Maynooth I returned to Dublin to get drinks at a music venue called Whelan's with Paulina. It was nice catching up with a fellow American about our experiences abroad so far.
