A Taste of Ireland

Last night all of my friends (pretty much all exchange students from various countries, but mostly the US) and I went on a cruise in Darling Harbor for St. Patrick's Day.  A small catastrophe occurred when our bus was running late and then because of a location mix-up, we realized we were still a 20-minute walk from the wharf where the boat would be leaving in 10 minutes.  Sprinting through Sydney in a dress was...interesting, but we finally found an empty cab and it sort of felt like the Amazing Race.  Of course we weren't counting on the fact that this is Australia, and nothing ever happens exactly when it's supposed to, and we would have had plenty of time to walk and/or crawl slowly.  Once we were on the ship we had so much fun!! ("I never thought I'd be on a boat...") The views of the city at night were amazing and it was a beautiful, warm evening despite the weather forecast for rain.  No one fell overboard during the cruise...although one girl fell off the dock after the ship landed..yikes. There's not too much else to say except that being Irish for a day was definitely enjoyable :)
