Dublin, Ireland

This is what we looked like when we arrived in Dublin. AT 4:30 AM. Dublin, we discovered, is a city that likes to sleep in. It also frequently rains. We found our way to the hotel and dropped off our bags and went out into the early morning city in search of coffee and something to do. Neither of us slept much on the plane, but we were excited to be there.








About 2 hours later we found the first place in the city that was open and serving coffee. This improved my mood drastically. We were wearing shorts and tee shirts and no one was around anyway to give us funny looks. After holing up in a cafe and eating a crepe for breakfast it started drizzling. Then raining. Then pouring. By the time if finally let up we were getting funny looks all over from the people heading to work at 8:30 or 9. This was because it had gotten quite cold. We braved the rain, made it back to the hotel and crashed in the lobby. After a few hours of wishing we were in bed and staring at the hotel clerks, our room was ready and we went upstairs and passed out for a bit. Spang arrived, crashed for a bit, then we all headed out for a beer.

Our first Dublin Guinness!! Can you see the Shamrock in it?

Wonderful.

The next day, as Spang was recovering from his evening, we walked around the city and checked out Dublin Castle. Later in the day we all walked down to the River Liffey.
