Our Big Day Out

A group of us went to Croke Park this weekend to watch the Aussies whallop the Irish, both on the scoreboard and with their fists. It was also Karen Elisabeth's birthday, so she was lucky enough to get a birthday cake made of lollies in a tupperware container with a candle in the middle! Brian went for the harder stuff and brought a flask of whiskey, which he distributed liberally among us for the duration of the game, to warm us up on the inside! A picture is worth a thousand words so I think I'll just paste some below...

An Irish flag flying high over Dublin's Croke Park..


A birthday 'cake' with a difference!


Weird Norwegian lollies... if you look closely you'll see they are, er... gender... specific... Scary.


Brian and his trusty flask...


I love this photo. It includes people from Ethiopia, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium/UK, Norway, the Netherlands and Ireland. Aren't we a multicultural bunch!


Walking back into town over the O'Connell Street Bridge



Outside the *spectacular* Lebanese restaurant where we ate after the football... mmm... The Cedar Tree on St Andrews Street, Dublin.

The Christmas Lights are up...


We had a beautiful day, lots of fun, the Irish got trolloped at the football (ha!), and we had a delicious dinner with lots of fun people and good times. It was loverly :)
