Sooo I've finally arrived and have gotten settled :) We are staying on campus at University College Dublin, which is about a ten minute bus ride from city centre. Love the double-decker buses, literally feels like you're going to hit everything when you turn a corner! Our first weekend, we went on a historical walking tour of Dublin, which was great to be shown around and hear a little bit of the "history," or in our case, our tour guide Liam's opinions of the horrible recent architecture. We walked through St. Stephen's green, which is basically the central park of Dublin.
I'm still amazed that it hasn't rained yet since we have gotten here! The weather is slowly getting warmer, however I probably should have packed a winter jacket lol This past sunday we went on a day trip to Howth, Ireland, which was only about a half hour from city centre. It's a huge shipping town, but is known for Howth Castle, set on this huge golf course. (which is interesting here, you can just stroll on the course unlike in the states)
We decided to take advantage of the coastal town, and have some fish and chips. Everyone.
