We hope that the only things that may be lacking in consistency to the original trilogy will be...severe amnesia, hand guns, bullets, russian gypsies, huge wads of cash, hundreds of fake passports, and high powered binoculars (but there will possibly be displays of learned martial arts.)
This is our 3rd day together in Ireland and already we have done some very "Bourney" things. We've sprinted through subway stations in Dublin to reach a bus with 3 seconds to spare, jumped off a 5m high concrete structure into the freezing cold atlantic (although we were not being pursued by any government officials), we beat the crap out of 2 serbs, 2 spaniards, a frenchman, and a slovakie (it was street basketball, but it did involve martial arts like spin moves and steals) and finally we've laid witness to a high speed boat chase (Volvo Ocean Race stopover in Galway...sailboats).
Otherwise, introduced Duncan to the local brews (Guiness, Druids and unfortunately Buckfast), the local people (had a big ol' party at the apartment), and the local sights (not much usually, but the Ocean Race is a huge deal, the boats arrived at 0400 hours to fireworks, bonfires, and a huge uproar)
Upon my arrival in Shannon Ryan and I hopped on a bus bound for Dublin. There we saw Dublin castle, O'Connol Street, and Ha'Penny Bridge. Then we headed to a pub on the campus of Trinity College in Dublin to celebrate the end of exams for students there. We capped off our day in Dublin with a late night burger from "SuperMacs" (a blatant rip off of Mcdonalds, Ryan had the "Biggy Mac" burger)
Yesterday Ryan organized a huge pick up basketball game (we had enough for 2 games, Ryan knows everyone here). The games were surprisingly good. Ryan blatantly split up the players into a good court and a beginners court, but he was nice enough to tell the beginners that they were in the "A" league. After the game one of Ryan's friends thought it would be an awesome idea to jump in the ocean. It wasn't that good of an idea. The water might have been warmer than the air which isn't saying much because it was 50 and breezy yesterday. Galway has a beach with life guards and a diving platform. We jumped off the high dive once, and it was freezing. Needless to say we didn't go back for seconds. After our swim we ate some Mexican food and went out to the pub for a Guinness. We have posted pictures on Facebook where you can see our adventures in color. We hope to post one more time before we leave Ireland and then once from every city if possible.
