Ireland

Last month, law school gave me yet another 'break' (Easter holidays), so naturally, I decided to get away for a weekend...to Ireland! I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Dublin! I am blessed with opportunities to travel internationally often, and with that, I have always wondered what's happening up North! 

I took the hour flight with my mother and we stayed at The Morgan Hotel, in the heart of Temple Bar. (If you've been to Dublin City, you know Temple Bar is where it's at!). I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend stay in Dublin- from visiting Trinity College, the Guinness Storehouse and taking a scenic train ride to Howth for a seafood dinner. Upon my return (late Sunday evening), it was back to law school!...

...enjoy the pictures!

Lunch at the Elephant & Castle. They are famous for their wings!! Delicious!

 Trinity College and the Book of Kells.

Dublin Castle.

 We went to see the Irish play 'God Bless the Child' at the famous Gaiety Theatre and met these lovely ladies. It was hilarious! It got me feeling Irish! Haha!

Random hotel elevator picture- but look at the walls though! Cushioned!!

Typical Irish breakfast!

Saturday morning farmers' market. 

The Guinness Storehouse!!

The Guinness Storehouse is a MUST when you visit Dublin. We took waaaay more pictures than what you see here! I'm sure we all have had a pint or two of the good stuff- and actually seeing how its made and the history behind the beverage (as well as graduating from the academy!) was awesome!

We took the train along a scenic route to Howth, where we had a delicious seafood dinner. It was nice to get out of the busy city for a moment and have a peaceful, chilled evening, dining in a fabulous restaurant, meeting locals and bringing variety to our trip!

We could not leave Dublin and not have traditional stew and Guinness beef stew, right?! Twas delicious! Best warm-me-up! 

Back to London!

Have you been to Dublin? Such a vibrant city! It's a must!

Until next time,
Sx
