So in June we moved into a new apartment, and we are now right in Dublin City Centre. We are about as central as you can get, which is great considering we rely on public transportation.  We also rely on beer and cider, so we’re happy to be within 5 minutes of about 100 pubs.  We ALSO rely on church so – lucky us! – there happens to be a C atholic chapel on the ground floor of our building .  How convenient to leave the house 2 minutes before mass starts!

Our new digs are right on the River Liffey, which divides Dublin into North and South.  We are on the north side, and are therefore no longer south side snobs.  The only disadvantage I suppose is the noise, as we are right on a busy street.  However, it is a great spot for people watching. We are also on the 3^rd floor (2^nd floor for you Europeans!), which cuts down on the noise, and also puts us in a great position for dropping water balloons on unsuspecting tourists walking below.  We haven’t actually done this yet – the weather has been absolute shite for the last month so we figure no one would even notice a water balloon dropping on their head considering all the rain. But, that hasn’t stopped us from mischievous planning!  Anyways, we’re loving our new place, and we are fortunate to have an extra bedroom, should anyone decide to visit (hint, hint!).  Below is the view of the River Liffey from our apartment.
