day 91: stairs
july 14.
the second day of convention. we got great seats, right on a balcony! anyways, we found these really cool stairs! a double staircase that i think escher or william curtis rolf would envy quite possibly.
and who knew a photobomber could actually add to the mystery of the photo? i think this one's great!

day 90: first day of convention
july 13.
the weirdest thing. whenever i go to a convention in my home district, i know about 75% of the people. this convention, i hardly knew anyone...but it was still amazing! 9000 people who are mostly strangers, and you can just drum up a conversation with them and feel as if you've known them forever!

day 89: the tram was crammed
july 12.
thursday we spent some time in the ministry inviting people around dublin to the convention the following three days! what a great experience! my favorite was when we were all on the tram, all crammed full of witnesses, and a few other people, just feeling this incredible surge of happiness.

day 87: walking tour
july 10. don't do a walking tour with a bum foot. ouch. i somehow made it through several "death marches" around dublin, and ended up in a pretty foul mood by the end of them.
on a high note, i got to see (i think) the oldest biblical papyrus in existence. a portion of the book of john, it was penned only fifty years after john wrote the book of john! pretty amazing! i had goosebumps looking at it. they don't let you take pictures of it, however, so you will just have to trust me when i say that it was amazing, and know that if i could've taken pictures of it, i would've gone snap-happy and it would be the photo of the day..
for now, you will have to content yourself with this one:

day 86: travelling makes me sleepy
july 9.
monday we arrived back in dublin in the afternoon and were all so tired from travelling we decided to all take "cat naps" after we checked into the hotel. we explored the grounds after our naps and in between dinner and found them quite lovely. then we ate dinner; we were all quite deliriously hungry!
you can't see the view very well in the picture, but it was really great!
