Dublin.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful city!

We had a lot of issues booking a hostel because we unknowingly arrived on the busiest day for hostel booking...a Saturday. We spent hours going to hostels and asking if there were finally we decided to go back towards the airport and booked the Travelodge a little over our budget but a nice place the people at the front desk were helpful and it was good to know that euro adapters don't work that well or at all...so that sucks but andrew has a battery charger so that helped we will have to be a bit cautious going forward we have one night at Abigails backpackers hostel tonight and we are going to try and get 2 more nights and then head down to rosslare and take a ferry on the 6th.

lessons learned from Dublin: book hostels in advance, don't leisurely walk across the street or you will get hit, pigeons rule the roost, and it rains all the time in Dublin haha.

Today is a picture day and trying to feel a little more comfortable day you don't realize just how Strange a different country will be until you get there. Most of the older locals speak Gaelic where most of the younger ones are quite capable of English all the time.

The architecture here is amazing to see it is to believe it the houses in the middle of the town are mostly town houses on one side of the street with businesses on the other.  Lots of quaint homes on the back streets. My mom would love them. I think my dad would like the spire it's like a gigantic spear that was left standing in the middle of the town it's awesome. The cathedrals are fantastic just huge and awe inspiring. We will be hitting the Guinness factory today as well and maybe a pub. We went into 2 pubs yesterday looking for b&b's and they echoed with loud laughter and had some strong smells but we're warm.
Most of the dialect spoken inside was Gaelic. Anyway time to start a new day!
Bye for now!
