Ireland...

Oh the pubs of Dublin. I have never seen so much alcohol and friendly people in one place. From Guinness to Bulmer’s I guess it is all made here. Ironic how two alcoholic impaired J young women ended up in Dublin, but we did enjoy the other parts of the city. George Fredrick Handle’s Messiah was first played inches away from our hostel, the Christ Church Cathedral, a beautiful site was nestled within one of the few remaining medieval areas of town, beautiful intercity rivers and even a free museum made Dublin worth it. Our goal for Ireland was to head out of town to see the green that God has blessed this county with - so off we went to Killarney - to see the country’s largest national park, a castle, and an amazing manner called Muckrow House - which boasts of secret lakes and beautiful spaces via the bikes we were on. Killnarney also lead us to the coast via the peninsula of Dingle. Though showers met us on and off, the view of green spilling into the crashing ocean waves was breathtaking - which apparently Hollywood would agree as we saw the areas where Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman‘s Far and Away was filmed.
