''...the green and troubled land of
tourist brochures and news headlines.''

Quote from: Ireland, A Novel by Frank Delaney

Warmed and cooled by the North Atlantic stream and location respectively, Ireland is never extremely cold or extremely hot.

This celtic isle is stoney grey, rugged mountains, cliffs and dewy greenness. Windswept and misty, you will likely need an umbrella anytime.

From the ring of Kerry to the tatched cottages of Conamera to the Giants Causeway, may the road rise to meet you and may your hassles be small ones.

Ireland has folklore, lively music, dance and haunting ballads. Kiss the Blarney stone and join the locals in one of the pubs which outnumber just about everything for a pint of black and tan, or ten. Then rise up yer skirts and kick up yer heals for a bit of mighty craic with fiddles, harps, jigs and reels.

Goodbye ireland! Europe » Ireland » County Dublin » Dublin

professor sands car packed to the max haha

Tomorrow night it is time to say goodbye to IReland Entirely!.. our bus leaves at 4 am to go to our ryan air flight to Edinburgh Scotland. Our dilemma tonight would be that ryan air flights only allow 1 bag 30 lbs only (before leaving home we each were allowed 2 bags, 60 lb capacity so u could imagine how much luggage we already had, not too add everything we had bought in ireland already).. anything else would make us have to pay overage charges.. Well.. we didnt want that to happen so professor sands said that we had to shove [View Full Entry]

view from guiness gravity bar

We finally arrived in Dublin, we are staying on a very busy street and we are staying at the Kinlay House another hostel. it is not the cleanest place, but it will do... Jen, Bev, Me, Dvora, Zach, and jeff are sharing a room, there are 3 bunkbeds, and the shower is disgusting, but its doable. Today we decided to get around and look at the city. We did this hop on hop off type tour. It bring you all around dublin in a double decker, and at each stop you can get off, and just go back to the station [View Full Entry]
