Ireland

Day 11

 I went on a bus tour through the irish countryside. It was beautiul! Seriously arguably the most beautiful place in the world. On that tour we also went to a small town kilkenny and I visited the castle and saw other cool sights. Afterwards I went to a true irish pub with a bunch of german girls who were staying in my hostel. I am going to be very stereotypical but I was worried when they invited me because a bunch of Germans in an Irish pub would normally equal a rowdy night haha. None of them drank though.  It was fun to just sit, relax, talk, and take in the atmosphere. Don't worry i ordered a coke! I also got id'ed Whig bugged me because I am 21 and you only have to be 18. I think it was because those girls were all 18 and 19. 

Day 12

Tour de Dublin. I went on a walking tour through Dublin. It was cool to learn about Irish history and the different buildings in Dublin. I have a new found hatred for the British. They treated the Irish like absolute scum. F the red coats ;). After the tour I went out to eat with a few people that were on the tour. It was fun I ate Irish bacon. It was really good ham but their cheesy potatoes were not as good as my moms. After that I came back to my hostel and watched some huge soccer game. I still don't really understand what it was for. All I know is that Barcelona won. 

Day 13

All the museums and things I wanted 
to check out are closed today so I just walked around the shopping area and thought about buying somethings for my nephews but first I want to find out what the newest member of the clan will be before I make any purchases. 

I love my Irish roots and have enjoyed my time in Ireland. I will be here for two more days and then very early Wednesday morning I fly to Paris. I am a little nervous to start my true foreign leg of the journey aka where English is not the native language buy excited for the sights i will see an the people I will meet.
