Ireland was absolutely amazing. Just beautiful. Very much like Scotland. Kelsey and I took a Shamrocker Tour, and went all along the west--South and back up to Dublin in 3 days. It was busy and tiring but ultimately incredible.
The stories I have to tell are just so extensive, so instead I'll bullet some highlighted events and destinations covered you can ask me about...
*Thursday we had an insane traveling day, almost missing our bus to Dublin and then our 12 and a half hour over night bus/ferry ride via National Express.
*Free breakfast at the Kinlay House Hostel
*Whiskey Brewery
*I won the whiskey identity taste competition and got a free bottle
*The Shannon River/Church yard
*Doolin for an over night in the cute farmhouse with Fecking awesome tshirts
*Doolin pub with a fiddle player, flute, and guitar...and then additional musicians that jumped in
*Irish Coffee
*Dingle Peninsula!
*Beach and splashing in the atlantic, in which Ireland claimed a part of my soul
*Leprecaun myths, faerie tales, and banshees
