I hope that those of you who celebrate it had a fun and relaxing Memorial Day weekend with your loved ones! I got my first hint of sunburn and ate far too much potato salad. I’ll call that a success.
I realized that I still had a few photos to share from my trip to Ireland. We only spent one day in Dublin, but we managed to hit our two main objectives: The Book of Kells in Trinity College, and the Guinness Storehouse. I am proud to say that I am now officially certified to pour (and drink) the perfect pint.

I wasn’t allowed to take photos of the actual book, so this is my proof that I was somewhere in the vicinity of the Book of Kells.
Guinness galore!
Photos taken on my Samsung Galaxy.
Isn’t the Guinness factory great? We’ve been twice. We recently went to the Heineken experience in Amsterdam and they could definitely learn a thing or two from Guinness!

nice blog!
Woahh!! Dublin looks amazing!
I loved Dublin as it is! Though I was told the best Guinness isn’t exactly at the storehouse! If you are returning and have more time, http://musingsandmasonjars.com/2013/03/13/dublin-oh-dublin/ or take a day’s road trip to the countrysides and up to Belfast!
I did these exact two things ten years ago during a week-long exchange trip in Dublin! I need to go back though. It was before Iphones/digital cameras were a thing and my memories are very vague. Great pictures.
Liked the pics & glad you had a good time.
I switched from the Samsung to the Experia. I broke my Samsung. The Experia has some cool editing features
Ha! Proper Irish. 😀 I’d genuinely never really thought of going to Ireland before. I was all “Meh, it’ll be the same as Wales, England and Scotland” but the more I read about it on here, the more I quite fancy taking a trip over.:D
This is awesome! Definitely something I’m also going to do when I plan a trip to Dublin 😀
Lovely photos Meghan! I love Dublin! It is a great city!
Gosh this has made me want a Guinness!!
Funny, I had the same sensation while writing it! 😉
I have fond (fun…!) memories Dublin. My trip there was actually a part of the Irish writers class I took while studying in the UK. It turned out to be less of a class trip and more of a “let’s find pubs where famous Irish writers used to frequent and drink Guinness with the prof just like they used to!” Love that city 🙂
Haha somehow I think that’s what always happens in Ireland. All roads lead to a pub. 😉 Thanks Alba!
Ireland has a great amount of history and so much to see. I am sorry you only had one day to visit Dublin but at least you made it. Hope you had a great adventure.
Thanks! Next time I’m in Ireland, I’ll be sure to devote more time to Dublin. So much more to see and experience.
