Dublin

After the hell of getting over here and being in the Atlanta airport for 11 hours, we finally took off and landed in Dublin around noon the next day. We went from 90° temps to 50° temps and it feels like a nice break. After sleeping off the jet lag, we headed into to Dublin for a look around. According to sources, there are around 1 million people in and around the city. We ate lunch at a kebab shop because we have been longing for one since we left Madrid 2 years ago. After that, we walked up and down the River Liffey that divides the town into the North/South. We found a few churches like St. James, Christ Church, and St. Patricks Park. After walking more westward, we found the Guiness Storehouse and took a tour for €11, which includes a free pint at the end. We were able to see the entire brewing process and enjoy a 360° view of the city. From there, we walked to the Spire, a tall poll in the middle of the city. We met up with our friend for a couple of pints and headed home through Phoenix Park, the largest park in Europe and the home of the President of Ireland. We've noticed a lot of similarities in the politics and business of Ireland and the US. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
