In early July, we took a trip to Ireland with our friends Alicesara and Brandon. We spent six days driving the coast and stopped in a bunch of cute little towns along the way. The scenery was beautiful, the people were incredibly friendly, and there were sheep everywhere!
We had fun trying traditional Irish food like Irish stew and bacon and cabbage, and some of us (not me!) were even brave enough to try black pudding.
We toured the Jameson Whiskey Distillery and the Guinness Brewery, drove the famous Ring of Kerry, and made sure to check out the pub scene everywhere we went.
The highlight of the trip was definitely the Cliffs of Moher. It was one of the most stunning places I’ve ever seen. Our favorite town in Ireland was Kinsale, a yachting community with a beautiful harbor and quaint, narrow streets.
We ended the week in Dublin where we celebrated my 30th birthday with a walking tour of the city, some Bailey’s cheesecake and shopping, and an awesome Thai dinner. What a great trip!
did you like Ireland enough to want to go back there?
ReplyDeleteI really liked Ireland but there are soooo many other places we want to see that I don't think we'll be back. Plus it was too much driving for both of us.
