Flag of Ireland  , County Dublin,
Sunday, October 12, 2008

Holy cow, I love Ireland!!!We flew into Dublin about 2 hours after the Lakenheath show and got to our hostel at about 12:30 in the morning. The next day, we went on a "hop on, hop off" bus tour of the city and made some stops at Dublin Castle, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Guinness Storehouse, and the Jameson Distillery among others. We were staying in the Trinity College area so after the tour we started pub crawling. The streets were packed everywhere (keeping in mind it was a Monday night!) and every pub we went into had a live band playing traditional Irish music, it was awesome! We even ran into someone we met at Oktoberfest, how random is that? The Temple Bar was cool too, it was in the Temple Bar area (obviously) and was a huge bar consisting of about 6 or 7 rooms with their own bar each and about 2 or 3 beer gardens, it was ridiculously big! The weather was really nice the whole time we were there too, which is apparently an anomaly. It was sunny and a bit warm pretty much the whole time, which led to some awesome double decker bus rides throughout the city on the tour. I'm pretty much planning my next trip to Ireland in my head as we speak, haha, I can't wait to go back (only next time, longer than 2 days and more than Dublin)The next morning, we found ourselves back on a plane to England where we made it in just in time to make soundcheck for the Cambridge show...
