Today is a day of
rest and the day of partying! First we went to cross our fingers (press our
thumbs) for Eve and her driver theory test. It was nerve wrecking but we’re so
happy she passed the test and now she’s allowed to drive. The test centre was
close to the canal as well, it’s actually a lovely walk for about 30 minutes
along the canal so we took a photo with Eve’s provisional driver’s licence at
one of the locks, where we later also saw a boat passing through.
We also saw something very funny
called yarn bombing. We will get to the root of that a bit more on Sunday next
week we were told but basically, Eve likes to knit and crochet and she meets
every other Sunday with a group of people to do that. Yarn bombing is something
when somebody (or a group of people) knits and crochets bits and pieces, they
are joined together and attached to something you find outside. We found a big
bit wrapped around a tree, as you can see in the picture.
We also found a kind of a statue
sitting on one of the benches along the canal. Eve isn’t too sure what it’s
about, it’s certainly nobody famous but we thought it was great, so we took a
picture with it. All we know is that in 1991 Dublin was the cultural capital
and probably in honour of that this statue was placed.
