Hello!!
Top of the Mornin' To You! (And the rest of the day to you... (thats the proper response, did you know that?!)) Just got back from my weekend in Dublin for Halloween! Love Dublin! We arrived on Friday afternoon, walked around the city a little, and then celebrated one of the girls 22nd birthday with live Irish music! Quite a way to celebrate 22! On Saturday we took a day trip to Wicklow National Park and Mountain. Our tour guide was great! He was a little old Irishman and he drove us in his van! At one point we pulled over to the side of the road to enjoy some tea and coffee and great views:
. We got to see some sweet lakes and of course I had to bring a little bit of my nerdy highschool Ottawaness into the mold and we did a Verona study abroad hands-in:
. How awesome! Sorry my hair is everywhere! That night we enjoyed dinner at Dublin's oldest pub, The Brazen Head, and then went on an International Pub Crawl! Since it was Halloween of course we dressed up as people going to a masquerade! Whoo! The next morning we woke up craving MORE Guinness and headed headed over to the Guinness Factory to enjoy a pint and a great tour!
Here is our entire group trying some Guinness in their tasting lab! Yumm! I don't know what it is, but Guinness just tastes better in Ireland! That night five of us went on a Literary Pub Crawl where are two guides were two actors that took us around the city and acted out some chapters of Irish Literature! We like to be a little cultured too! Pretty exciting weekend! Lots of fun, laughs and Guinnesses! Hope you all had an enjoyable Halloween with some sweet costumes! I do have to give a shout out to Mrs. Conroy for telling me her awesome costume idea! Whoo! So I'll leave you with a little joke and a view from the top:
Why should you never iron your four-leaf clover?
Love and miss you all!
