Ireland, there is a city there that keeps Dublin & Dublin!

Dublin, Ireland. We were in the heart of the city with lots of lively pubs and delicious food. The people were probably the nicest people amongst our travels. We experienced the cold, cold weather in June, what men do on their stag parties before one gets married, dancing in a pub that surprisingly had a live Johnny Cash cover band, what the Book of Kells looks like really up close and the beautiful long library (although I did not get any photos because unfortunately there was no photography allowed), how to pour the perfect Guinness, which I mastered, of course, and we tried to do a bit of the Irish Jig. We were definitely feeling giddy with our Irish luck in Dublin!

 View from the plane, we knew we were in for some cold weather


What the majority of our hostels looked like

 Twins! But we really needed to dress warm...it was freezing!


 The only thing we drank whilst in Dublin


One of the most delicious, filling meals ever! Guinness braised beef with mash

Guinness Brewery! Don't mind my babushka ensemble...it was cold!

Stone upon stone upon fallen stone; appropriate for a brick wall

Beer!

 The Guinness Brewery is 7 stories high and shaped like a pint glass


Where we learned to pour the perfect Guinness

Our expressions are priceless




 Cheers!
