Oct 26-28 Dublin

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been busy with school and traveling and being a tourist in Spain! But a few weeks ago I went to Dublin and had such a great time. I have wanted to visit Ireland ever since I was little and was picturing green rolling hills, castles, and sheep everywhere. It turns out that Dublin is a city, so it wasn't exactly like that. The city was very cool though, every pub had live music with violins, guitars, and people singing Irish songs. We also took a train to a city called Malahide to see the Malahide castle, so I got my fix of greenery and sheep in. On the last day we were there we took a tour of the Guinness factory, which was very fun even though I don't like beer. I took one sip at the top just to say I did, but that was it. I am a letdown to al of the Irish people. Arthur Guinness, the founder of Guinness beer signed a 9,000 year lease for the Guinness factory in Dublin so they will be making ber there for a while!
