Ireland

Our next stop was Dublin. The first day was rough. It was freezing, snowing, raining, hailing, and everything else you wish for it NOT to do when youre on Spring Break. I stayed with my cousin Andy and we had a great time. We were in Ireland for 5 days and I wish we could have stayed longer. As far as Dublin goes, I am not a fan. The people are too bizarre, its pretty dirty and well theres not very much to see. Outside of Dublin is amazing! The landscapes and coast is to die for. The weather was ok the rest of the trip but like the Irish say, "If you dont like the weather just wait 5 minutes. It will change." They are one hundred percent right! The pubs there are awesome. The live music and atmosphere is like no where else.

Must Do's/See's in Ireland:

  • Guinness Factory
  • Irish Pubs
  • Cliffs of Moher
  • Just drive along the coast
  • Find abandoned houses from the potato famine
  • Wicklow Mountains
  • Visit Donegal (which I didnt have time to do)

Christ Church

Guinness Factory

 Inside is awesome

 The Guinness sold in Ireland is made with water from the Wicklow Mountains

 The view from the top floor!

 My Guinness! Poured 3/4 with nitrogen and Guinness, settles for two minutes and then topped off with pure Guinness. What an art :)



 Back in the day you had to pay half a penny to cross the bridge hence the name Ha'penny Bridge





Our tour across Ireland


 Welcome to the Cliffs














Abandoned Houses








 Loved all the animals in peoples front lawns :)







I was forced to go to the Ireland museum so... I just played dress up :)
