Where are the Irish?

After a late night of drinking and having fun, we were off to a late start on our second day. While C and PMW were off wandering around, V, PM, and I spent the first part of the day looking into day trips outside of the city and looked for a nice restaurant for V's 40th birthday supper.

Today we did something very Irish, we went to the Guinness Storehouse to see how Guinness was made. On our way there, V, PM, and I took a little detour crossed the Ha'Penny Bridge to look at a couple of shops, then we back to the other side of the Liffey River.


We came upon Dvblinia and Christ Church Cathedral and stopped to take some pictures.

After we headed over to Guinness. We discovered one of the key ingredients of Guinness, the fifth ingredient is Arthur Guinness because without him there would be no Guinness beer. Your ticket includes a taste of Guinness at the tasting station and a pint of Guinness at the Gravity Bar, which provides a 360 view of the city.



After the Guinness Storehouse, V and PMW took off on a secret mission. PM, C, and I went back to the apartment, then PM and I went shopping on Parnell St and bought some goodies such as Butler's chocolates. We went back to the apartment and where PMW cooked a delicious supper. We are starting to wonder if there are any Irish folk in Dublin as we seem to be surrounded by foreigners wherever we go. Our taxi driver told us to go to Stevenson Square as that's where the Dubliners hang out.
