Day 22: Manchester to Ireland

This morning we got on the train to go from Edinburgh to Manchester, and the train ride was gorgeous. I brought my computer to work on the train but found myself continually looking outside. .

When we arrived in Manchester, we checked in at our dorms and then headed to the Manchester United stadium for a tour. I was really excited for this because it is the one thing I wanted to do in Manchester, and it was first on our list. It was kind of surreal being at the stadium, one that I have watched so many games at from my T.V. at home, on another continent. We got to go into the stands, walk around the stadium, hang out in the players lounge where they get ready for games and hang out afterwards, and we even got to go into the locker room where I got a picture next to Rooney’s locker.

For dinner we went to an Indian restaurant where I got my first Indian food experience, and it definitely did not disappoint. I was skeptic at first, and besides the food being a little spicy, it was great. I am so full I can hardly move now.
