well, I took a hiatus from sharing UK pictures from our trip this past spring.
however, i still have soooo much to share, so here we go:)
when kevin and i strolled into dublin via bus (from galway),
it was unfortunately pouring buckets of rain!
and it didn't let up.
fortunately, it was the only full days of rain we had on our entire trip
{which if you know the UK, you know that's quite the miracle, so were were not complaining}
the wonderful thing about Dublin is that there is a LOT to do inside:)
the first night we were there, we went to the BEST dinner experience
called "food, folklore, and fairies".
if you're picturing a little man singing and dancing and telling stories...
you're right!
{and it was amazing!}
you show up to the oldest pub in dublin called the Brazen Head
and are ushered upstairs to this beautiful old room with a fireplace.
the host spends the night sharing the history of ireland through stories, irish folksongs, and irish dancing.
kevin even volunteered me to dance a jig...my shining moment! haha. not!
the next day we bought tickets on one of those "hop on, hop off" buses. we usually prefer to walk cities, but with the rain the bus was our best friend in keeping us dry!
we checked out the Guiness Factory, where they've been brewing beer for hundreds of years. Even though I couldn't drink the beer (i'm allergic to wheat), I really enjoyed the museum! At the top of the museum there is a 360 view of the city where they give you a free pint of beer to enjoy.
we also took a tour of the infamous jail. Amazing. So much Irish history on the tour!
we also stayed in the most beautiful guesthouse with a massive room! Kevin and I enjoyed our room so much, that after the end of a soggy wet day of trekking the city, we ended the night snuggling up in our bed and watching downton abbey on our kindle. perfection.
enjoy dublin!
