Kissing a man made out of red legos

I attempted to kiss a man made out of red legos at the "Art of the Brick" exhibition in Dublin. This man was one of many sculptures created from legos by Nathan Sawaya.

Tea time in Dublin

Galway

I've just returned from a trip to Galway, a lovely little city in Ireland. The trip was for both business and pleasure - I spoke at a conference on Victorian print consumption at the University of Galway and spent some time exploring the city with my boyfriend. We gazed at the beautiful scenery, ate delicious meals, and met some wonderful animals, including a little dog named Chanel, a big brown cow, and swans galore!
