7/25/2015 0 Comments A Very Overdue Update #2: Ireland!Yes, that's right, I'm finally posting about my trip to the homeland! The Keohanes hail from Southern Ireland - Cork to be specific - and while I wasn't able to make it down there this time, I certainly did have a fabulous time in Ireland during the few days that I was there for. I must say, I give a TRIPLE THUMBS UP to the Paddy's Palace hostel! They were amazing! It was only 10 Euros a night with free airport shuttles and if you booked over two nights you got to go on one of their world-famous tours of Ireland for FREE. I told my family and we all agreed it was too good to be true and that it would probably be a sketchy hotel and pretty uneventful tour, but I was pleasantly surprised. IT. WAS. AMAZING. I saw some amazing sights and visit adorable little Irish towns including the Wicklow Mountains, Kilkenny, Glendalough and of course Dublin. And not only were the sights awesome, our tour guide was fabulous. He gave awesome information and was so funny! Here are a few picture from the tour: And, of course, Dublin itself was not so bad either. I must say that Ireland was one of the kindest places that I've ever been (next to Scotland, of course). Everyone was so happy and friendly and it was so refreshing to have a change of scenery. I recommend that everyone take some time to come to this awesome city. It was interesting because, while it was clearly a city, it's nothing like the cities here in the US. It feels smaller, more intimate and more humble than our cities. The history is rich, the people are authentic and, while the weather has some trouble sticking to either rain or sun, it's undeniably beautiful. Oh, and they are obsessed with literature and all things Oscar Wilde. It's my kind of place. Basically this place is totally is completely wonderful. I love it and I can't wait to be back. Everyone should take a trip over here before they die if able. I promise you won't regret it and I am extremely grateful that I was able to experience it.
