Europe - Dublin

Lindsey and I left Edinburgh at 6 am. I passed out on the flight due to my need to take mass quantities of dramimine in order to not get motion sick and when I woke up we were not in Dublin as we thought we would be but mid-flight we were diverted to Liverpool. After a brief time sitting on the runway there we took off and finally landed in Dublin two hours later than we were supposed to. While getting to Dublin was a difficult task, falling in love with Dublin and Ireland was quite the opposite. 

When we landed we met up with Lindsey's friend's Chris, Zane, Marcus, and Charlie who also happened to be jaunting around Europe. We left the airport and went to their friend Colm's house who was gracious enough to host us through the weekend. First thing on the to do list was food and Guiness (which I skipped out on). We then hopped on a hop on, hop off tour and wandered around the city. St. Patrick's Cathedral and Trinity College were some of the highlights. That night Colm took us out to some traditional Irish pubs and some not so traditional Irish clubs... 

The next day we took a tour down to Wicklow National Park which will be my next Europe blog post since it was too beautiful not to give it's own post to. 

The next day we toured the Guiness factory and watched a traditional Irish sport called Hurling at a local pub. It was exactly the same as a football game in the south...girls in their cute outfits in their team's colors and drunk boys screaming at a television. My favorite way to spend a Saturday! 

I called it a night early and said goodbye to Lindsey and the boys as my flight to Paris was at 5:30 the next morning...
