By the time I got off the bus, it was 2:30, and I thought the zoo was supposed to close at 4, so I approached two ladies and their children who got off the bus with me, asking if they were going to the zoo / if it was worth it at this time. They said yes, and as we walked to the gate, we started immediately sharing our stories: like 99% of the preteens currently in Dublin, they were here for the One Direction concert this weekend, but were originally from Belfast. They got excited when I told them I was from the US, studying abroad, and then invited me to walk with them the entire way through the zoo! That was so sweet of them - a little kindness goes a long way here. I've been doing a lot of things alone because it's the final countdown of Dublin and I want to do as much as I can without feeling like I need to satisfy other people, and I want to do what I want. Whenever I do things solo, I meet some amazing people (ie see my post about Edinburgh :) ).
Mossy and I met up at the Nubar later that night. We're still trying to go to Wicklow, but because I have so little time left, we're not too sure.
Today is the last Sunday I can go to Howth market, so I think I'm gonna go later today and get back to ya on this blog.
