Halcyon Repose

Made it to Dublin today and found a place to stay. We will probably be here the rest of the trip, seeing what the city has to offer.

We arrived in the Glendalough and discovered that apparently this place is as poplular for the locals as the beach is for labor day. After spending a good long time looking for a place to stay, Joe finally found us a brand new bread and breakfast to stay the night in.

We’ll retire early for the night and explore the valley early tomorrow before having a late breakfast in the morning then heading on to Dublin.

Joe and I arrived in Cork last night, and today we met up with Alex and traveled around the Ring of Kerry. The coastline was amazing, the mountains breathtaking, and the roads exciting. It was a bit too hazy for my taste, but we still managed to get some good photos

We are currently camped out in a bar, leeching on their free wifi, while Alex keeps telling us what nerds we are.

Joe and I spent the day visiting the Hills of Tara and Newgrange. Both were amazing, and we both snapped many, many pictures. We did spent one and a half hours looking for the Newgrange visitors center, but we eventually found it in the end.

We arrived in Belfast this evening and we just gotsome dinner. Hopefully we can find some decent pubs tonight.

Joe and I are currently in Trim, chilling in a few bars, waiting for the sun to set so we can get some pictures of the castle all lit up.

Testing the wordpress iPhone app. If all goes well you should also see some pics from our trip to the Long Beach Crawfish festival.

Update: pictures are in reverse order… Good to know for future posts.

Update x2: “I am making a note here… huge success.”
