Dublin, Ireland - Guinness Storehouse

Among other places that I visited were Trinity College, Dublin Castle, General Post Office, Dublin Spire, Four Courts, Guinness Storehouse and St. Stephen’s Green. While all were worth seeing, I probably enjoyed St. Stephen’s Green–a relatively small, yet beautiful park in the middle of southern Dublin–the most. In true Irish style, I spent a night drinking in pubs in an area called Temple Bar. From what I can tell, Temple Bar is the hot spot in town for both tourists and locals to drink up. True to their reputation, it was clear to me that the Irish enjoy their alcohol and like sharing it too. For most the night, I can’t remember having an empty drink in my hand and, in fact, rarely made it through the first drink before a second one showed up. Like I said, I was well taken care of.

I certainly plan on returning to Ireland, but next time to visit the countryside and the coast.
