Wrestling sees the sights and sounds of Dublin

Hello all! Day 5 was an interesting day. Today we took a city tour of Dublin in a double decker bus. It was pretty cool but absolutely freezing up top in the open section. I would love to run off all the sites we saw, but in a bus I was not able to take notes and keep track of everything like I have been able to in the other sites. What I did notice was that Dublin is a very cool city with lots of pubs (O'Shea's and Fitzgerald's covering both my parents' names).

For lunch we were on our own and I ate at one of the fast food joints called "Supermac's" with Shane, Mike F, and Ryan L. Very interesting place, basically a knock off of McDonald's with both pizza and ice cream as well. Later that night we went and practiced with a team in Dublin. After practice we had a match with eight matches of some of their wrestlers vs. us and we ended up winning every match. Those of us who wrestled received medals which are pretty cool. After that we went home and ate dinner at a Chinese Buffet named Jimmy Chan's. The food was similar but a little different. From there we were given about two hours to check out the city and we got a brief taste of the night life in Dublin. Hope all is well and I will get back to you soon.
