The rest of my stay in DUBLIN!!

Second Day in Dublin:

For our second stay in Dublin we went to go see the Parliament building where all the laws are discussed for Ireland and we where told about how the Irish government works. We later went to One of the better colleges in Ireland, it was Trinity Colleges, it was probably one of the nicest colleges i've seen, all the building were made out of marble stone and the path ways were made of cobble stone, they had the greenest grass and i bet they dont even have to dy there grass like USD does. After this we came back home and got ready to go out once again for a little bit of dancing!

Third Day in Dublin:

On our third day we went to see Dublin Castle which wasnt much of a castle at all! There was no mote or really any castle looking structures but it was still nice to see, after this we went to the guiness factory were we saw the inner workings and how they make the beer! it was a very interesting experiece, we also go a free pint of guiness at the end of the trip so that was a plus!

Fourth Day in Dublin:

On the fourth day we took a trade to the out skirts of dublin and went to a town called Malahide.  Malahide was a total change from dublin, it had its little town and right outside of it there is just greenery for miles and miles, it was a very beautiful place.  There we visited Malahide castle, which actually looked more like a castle! Here we found out that a family lived in the castle for over 800 years until they were murdered during an attack while they were eating breakfast. Quiet an interesting story

Fifth Day in Dublin:

I believe on our fifth day we woke up early to go see the book of kells.  This was a copy of the bible hand written and drawn, this book is held in the Trinity College library, unfortunately i couldnt take pictures of this but after this we had to get on a plane on to Spain!

Dublin was amazing and i highly suggest to anyone interested in visiting ireland to go to Dublin! its a beautiful place with lots to do!

my first day/night in dublin ireland!

So I left the United States, tuesday morning and traveled on plane for almost 13 hours! but we finally got to Dublin! It is a very gorgeous place! Everything is very green and the city is very gorgeous as well! Everyone is really friendly also, we got to our apartment from the airport around 9:00 in the morning so its a 9 hour difference from california... our apartment is super nice and has all the amenities we need.

We went out for lunch in this very traditional irish bar, i had fish and chips, its was delicious! Later that night we went out on the town and went to several different bars, here they are called "Temple bars,"  They played irish music everywhere, i was really liking it! after the bars we went to dinner it was probably 11:00 at night.  We went to this little restaurant and had an omelet and fries.  It was very delicious. Today we will be going on a tour of the "Parliament house here in Dublin"

So far dublin is amazing! i will be posting pictures soon!
