Day 15

Today I met Benny at the Jameson Distillery.  Over a glass of the famous Irish whiskey I learned she was from Australia (something I'm not unfamiliar with thanks to the year spent entertaining an Australian exchange student).  She is extremely cultured, well-traveled and is currently living in the UK.  She was a charming girl who was thrilled to talk to us about school and what we thought of the country so far.  Even after all the places she been, she assured us, "You came to the right place."  She said the Irish are absolutely the nicest people she's met who are always up for anything.  Haven't disagreed with her so far.  Her friend, John, was a local and was very welcoming too.  He attended DIT and gave us a few tips.  Both were happy-go-lucky people enjoying the Jameson almost as much as I was.
