Careful: it's good craic, not "crack"

Last week two new American friends from church arrived in Dublin. After church we had dinner at their place and a girl who has lived here awhile asked them, or what they thought she asked, "Do you have good crack in America?" They were so confused it was hilarious. Uhhhh? Really she was asking, "Do you have good craic in America?" Basically what it comes down to is all about having a good time, good entertainment, conversation and such. I'll let wikipedia do some of the work for the definition of craic, but here it's something you have to feel. Like some places have good craic, some don't. 

This day was good craic. After my friends mentioned above, Juni and Tanner, got off work, we took the train up to Malahide just to explore- typical Wednesday afternoon. Went to the castle, walked around the peninsula, all around the town, and ate at The Greedy Goose where we had the most delicious seafood! We plan on going back just so we can do a three course meal there. After that we took the train back and went to their company's equivalent of flag rugby game which was so fun! I wanted to get out there and play. After that we all went to the pub up the street for diet coke of course, and it was good times. 

I love my days off. I love that I have the night shift the rest of the week so I get to sleep in. But most importantly, I love my life and feel so grateful to my Heavenly Father each day that this is where I'm supposed to be.
