Last night I spent some time chatting with Elaine and her friend about traveling and stuff. It amazes me how many places they've visited and it really makes me want to travel even more now. Elaine has been to so many places--Australia, Antarctica, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, etc. I really want to be able to do that after I graduate...
Last week I said Dun Laoghaire was REALLY windy. After today, I'd have to say that it's BEYOND windy. On the Dun Laoghaire Harbor, Red Bull was hosting the 100th Flugtag...So I thought it'd be cool to go and see the event. They let people in at 11:45am and the event was supposed to start at 1pm...During that wait time, it was so windy. Literally the strongest winds I've felt so far....the gusts were so strong that at times it was hard for me to breathe--a bit of the same feeling when I went skydiving. The wind made it feel way colder than it actually was, so everyone was freezing...and then in normal Dublin fashion it started to rain which made everything feel worse than ever. Then they decided to delay the event for another 45 minutes, so we had to wait even longer in the cold...so everyone was miserable. I wore decently warm clothes for the air temperature, but the wind just went through it...so I literally shivered for ~2 hours. And because the wind was so strong, I had to brace myself the entire time...so after 2 hours of waiting, I was sore/exhausted haha.Finally after the first 3 acts the weather cleared up a bit and the wind died down for a bit.
