We spent several hours this day waiting in state department offices--first to get Laura a Pupil number--somewhat like a SSN for her school. Next, we went to the Garda (Police) that oversees immigration and registered. We were fingerprinted and had our forms reviewed. In the end we received a card that states our status as student for Laura and short-term worker for me. Andrew hung out at Trinity College while we were in lines and got to catch a football match. Afterwards we hit the Temple Bar area for dinner. A visit wouldn't be complete without the requisite pictures! We were in the area pretty early, so not as much was going on. The Temple Bar area is hosting a Traditional Festival next week and we will plan on attending some of the musical events and dancing. There will be a craft market set up as well!

This looks like a spot I'd like to visit when I get there!
