Let's start w/ Dublin, Ireland

---

Ok, So i'm finally going to get this going so that you can see what I have been up to over here in Europe. As you obviously know, Kevin and I flew to London for a night and then headed to Dublin for a couple nights. We stayed in the Litton Lane Hostel which used to be where U2 and Sinead O'connor used to record their albums. It was right off the River Liffey which runs down the center of Dublin. We explored a bit, ate McDonalds a lot and eventually figured out where we should go to see the best places along the east coast which meant taking the DART train system down the coast. Ireland was a lot of fun, very pretty and I recommend going. There is a lot to see and Dublin feels like any other large city. There are people everywhere during the day and there are a ton of places to go shopping.

Irish Famine Monument
Really really disturbing monument made for the victims of the famine...the figures were so deathly skinny.

The HUGE mountain we climbed
We climbed this to see where Enya and U2's Bono live. plus it was a great view of Ireland

Climbed the mountain in Killenny and found a pyramid thing to sit on so decided to take a picture
