When the conference ended, we made our way into Dublin city center with a few new friends.

Here, we got a taste of Irish city life. We visited Trinity College, which was lovely, though it made us long for our dear alma mater. We then made our soggy way to the airport, after being caught in the rain. By then we were cold, miserable and exhausted. Ready to go home.

However, as soon as Erin and Susan get too tired, they get hyper or incredibly grouchy. Luckily for Clementine, tonight’s special was extreme hyperness. Apparently when Clementine gets tired she becomes impressionable.

Overall, it was a very useful and enriching conference, and we look forward to seeing as many people as possible at the Child and the Book Conference in a few weeks time.
