I got back home from Ireland yesterday, it was amazing. We left early Thursday morning and got back to Barcelona Sunday afternoon. The first two days we spent in Dublin which was incredible. I was suprised by how small of a city it was, atleast the central area. The only thing I didnt like about Ireland was that it rained the entire time, except for the first half of the first day. They have a saying in Ireland if you wake up and look out your window and see the hills its going to rain later, and if you can't see them- it's raining now.
A few of the fun things we did and saw were Trinity College, St Patrick's Cathedral, Christ Church Cathedral, the Liffey, and my favorite-- the prison Kilmainham Gaol. It was where every political prisoner was held, and all the poor were held during the potato famine. It was cool to see because it has been used in over 70 scenes for various movies.
Other then the ones I just listed, there weren't that many sites to see in Dublin, especially compared to Paris which was nice for three reasons 1, it was simply a relaxingvacation. 2, it was raining and since we weren't on a schedule we just took cover in the pubs. 3, we had a third day free so we were able to take a trip into the countryside.
The trip we took lasted all day and although it was raining the entire time it was lovely. We went to where the movie P.S. I love you was filmed. (to be continued-- have to leave for class.)
