Dublin, Ireland
At the very beginning of the trip I decided to take a journal with me and carry it around in my backpack in order to capture all the events and excitement in writing. Upon arrival we immediately began a walking tour. Being early on a Sunday there was few pubs, I mean shops open. We definately learned about the transportation system that day taking both the public bus, train, and taxis. Everyone drove on the opposite side from what we Americans are accustomed to, that almost cost a few of us our toes when attempting to cross the street. So when traveling to the United Kingdom remember to LOOK RIGHT! To be in Dublin, Ireland on Saint Patrick's Day was a once in a lifetime experience. Throughout our stay we feasted on beef stew and fish and chips. We learned the American dollar is the equivalent to toilet paper overseas. The greatest thing about Ireland is that we were able to speak with the locals. Could you ever imagine telling stories about banchies and spirits in a cemetary on St. Patty's Day? Well, I did that. The people that I have met thus far are amazing, we have already seen so much and the trip just started.
