Hi, my name is Erin...
and I'm a book addict. That is all I can tell you.
After college night last night, and sleepover time with Jes, I spent a lovely afternoon with Howie. We wandered the city in a very leisurely way, and I finally managed to not feel like a tourist today. I did, however, eat a ridiculous amount of food with Howie. We split a family bundle, which contains more food than I'm going to mention here, but let's just say...I haven't eaten anything else today, and I'm glad.
But we also spent some time shopping; he bought pants and I got a sweatershirt, and we didn't pay but 15 euro between the two of us. Show me a store in the states where you can get jeans and a hoodie for under 20 dollars. We also tried on crazy European shoes and laughed at tee shirts and crazy man underwear. Bought some jewlery from a street vendor which is probably going to turn Howie's finger green, and wandered into a soap store, under the mistaken impression that it was a candy store. A very nice lady showed some bath bars to us, and we walked around and smelled things and left the store with the taste of soap on our teeth.
And then we went to the bookstore. The sick thing is, Howie is just as much of a book addict as I am...so we were there for two hours. Yeah, that's right. So we were just following each other around, pointing out books that we've read to the other one, constantly saying, "Oh, you'd really like that, you should pick it up sometime soon." And we probably could have each spent...hundreds of euro on books today. I've got to be the only person you all know who, when checking out at the bookstore, makes recommendations to the cashier. That's got to just be me.
But I had a good day with Howie, and lots of talking and laughing and fun times happened.

Cheap sweatshirts and jeans??? Awesome! If you see any t-shirts with sayings like "That's Hott, Your Not" or something you think I would like, you have to get it for me. I am addicted to my Abercrombie "Got a Sister?" long-sleeved T. I love any article of clothing that can incite a bar fight!
At any rate, I am glad you are feeling less like a tourist and more at home. Continue to have a blast. Talk to you later.
I actually saw one that said "Beer is My Saviour" but since it was spelled the UK way, it cracked us up. But I'll be on the look out. :)
Some sweet Irish girl isn't filling us in often enough. We need our erin fix!
