Day 1- Dublin

Well, Day 1 in Dublin was interesting. We landed, on time, and got to our rental car. It is an interesting experience driving a stick shift from the right hand side of the car on the wrong side of the road. So far no accidents, but we'll see.


Once we made it to our Bed and Breakfast (which was adequate), we took to the streets to learn about Dublin. We found a few things: there are thousands of people in the city on a weekend (think Times Square on small streets), they are friendly but speak lots of languages other than English, the storefronts are very nice, and there are pubs and historical things everywhere.








After a few hours of walking we had the city pretty well figured out so we headed back to our hotel for some sleep (not too long after Cayce fell asleep sitting up at the National Historical Museum).










We will do the majority of our Dublin sightseeing on Day 2. We'll see you then.

Hooray for an update! Glad you made it there safe. I've always wondered about driving on the other side of the road but shifting with my other hand never occurred to me... you are brave!

Have fun and drink a pint of Guinness for me!!
