None of us were in any shape to wake up on Saturday at 10am for our planned tour through Waterford. We got up around two and went out to get lunch at Gino's pizzaria. The pizza was ok but the ice cream they had was incredible. My flatmate will go on special walks to Gino's just for a milkshake. After Gino's we walked around the city center to find some steaks from a butcher. We then made our way to Tesco's on the way back. We picked up more food for dinners. We usually pitch in a couple euro each for our meals and it's much easier that way. We had grilled cheese on Saturday. After dinner around 7:30p we walked to the greyhound race track to watch the races. We stayed there for a couple hours; watched about 6 or 7 races. I'm not too great at picking the winning dogs but we didn't bet anything so no harm no foul. We walked back to our building and on our way back there was a parking lot FULL of souped-up cars waiting to race. I don't think street racing is legal in Ireland, but they didn't seem to mind. No one gave any of us straight answers on anything so we couldn't figure out when the races were gonna start. We walked back to our building and got ready for the rest of the night. We went out around midnight to Doolan's again to see a different band. The band was on their last few songs when we got there. They too ended their set with the Irish national anthem in Gaelic. We left Doolan's to go to Ruby's Lounge for a while. We left around 3am to go back to the apartment. I hung out with some of my group from Brockport, another group from Clarkson, and a couple girls from Austria(?). I may have gotten to bed around 4:30a but others didn't get to sleep until later. We lounged all day today and cooked steaks with mac & cheese for dinner.
