Dublin, Ireland











  • Took shuttle into Dublin.


  • Walked to Guiness Store House


  • Did self guided tour. Very shwanky! Had free beer and bought some stuff at the gift shop


  • Walked to St. Peter's cathedral or some other cathedral... decided not to pay 20 bucks per person to get in!


  • Checked out lots of shops and dodged lots of people, until we came to Sheridan Cheesemonger's


  • I tried a couple cheeses, and settled quickly upon a semi soft mild cheese. I'm totally excited to bring home my vacuum packed 1/4 Kg. Can't wait to bvreak into that little slice of goodness. I practically say goodnight to it every night!


  • Dodged more people and looked in more shops


  • Took a walk through Trinity College's grounds


  • Checked out Tower Records. I got a Dead Fred. He's pretty cool. He holds my pen.. inside a hole in his back! Ha!


  • Headed back to the boat!

Good question! I had to ask Corey that, myself. It is a play upon this other thing called "Flat Stanley." It was a thing that was sold commercially. It was a picture of a guy that people took around places and took pictures of the cutout of "stanley" in various settings. I guess it was a "curiosity" like a pet rock?? I dunno.

But Gary is the Dean of Point Loma's School of Education. Corey's friend and colleague, Jill, got this picture in a white elephant exchange. It's been a running joke about this mugshot ever since.
