Dublin Ireland
After Our time in Scotland, we took a flight to Dublin, Ireland for another 30 hour trip. Exhausted from the traveling, we walked to a local pub near our Air B&B, saw a rainbow, and explored Merrion Square Park for a bit until we fell asleep at 9 pm. In total we walked about 7 miles in one day, but we were able to explore the whole city.
Our day began with a long walk to the Guinness Factory. I wore my Tommy Hilfiger shoes for all of my walking adventures. We stopped for a quick breakfast at a local cafe, and kept moving. This tour is famously known for its interactive exhibits, beer pouring certification, and the tasting lab. At the end of the experience, tourists get to enjoy a pint of Guinness at the top of the building, and enjoy the view of Dublin. The tour was a few hours, so it was about 11 am by the time we made it too the top for our pint. It is a staple for Dublin, so I definitely recommend going.
After the tour, we stopped by the famous Saint Patrick's Cathedral, and then we walked through the temple bar district, followed by the Dublin Castle, and Trinity College. The temple bar is filled with pubs, bars, music, and shops. It has a unique vibe. I would have loved to visit it at night, but we had a plane to catch back to London. Trinity College had a beautiful campus. The architecture in Europe brings so much culture. I wore Marissa's black leather jacket, to stay warm, and my pink Brandy Melville sweater (similar here.) My skirt is from Forever 21 (similar here.) The corduroy style works well in colder weather because it is a thicker material.

This experience was amazing. I am half Irish, so I felt like I got to connect with my roots. As Marissa said with her post, I too would love to visit the countrysides of Ireland. We may just have to go back.
