Public transportation is at its best here. We were able to walk to the train station, buy tickets with cash or credit card from a machine, and take a train with comfortable seats, tables, and wi-fi into Dublin and back. The idea of using a ticket to gain entry and exit in the system is brilliant. In this way, someone thinking to pay for two stops and travel seven cannot leave the station until he or she is at that number two stop.
One can really see the importance Irish society places on literacy. A variety of books are readily available in outdoor markets, touted on billboards, and for sale in various shops.
The Art Museum had an original Monet depicting half sunny and half shadiness--very interesting! This was in the same display room as an original Picasso which surprised me as they are two very different eras and styles.
I am excited about interning which begin tomorrow!
