Ireland!

Okay, I have to admit, I loved Ireland! It is the most beautiful country! Ireland is the kind of country where everyone is so incredibly nice and helpful, and you can't beat the accents! As I am sure you can tell, this was the highlight of the trip for me.

We landed in Dublin and spent our first night in Kilkenny. We headed down the coast and spent our next night in Kinsale. At night we would go to the local pubs, it was awesome because we had the chance to listen to traditional and some not so traditional music. We spent the next two days in Dingle where we saw and did so many awesome things. There is so much to see and do there. Some highlights of the Dingle area for me were: the fort on the ferry hill, going on the dolphin boat, dinner in the pubs, and walking around the town late at night.

We then headed to Galway for the next couple of days. Galway was a fun city, it had a very college town feel, it was much more touristy. After two days in Galway we headed back to Swords, where we stayed and flew home the next day. Ireland was absolutely beautiful, I can't wait to go back and do the northern half now! I have a lot of pictures below!
