So we're here. The Hotel is gorgeous, Dublin is gorgeous and everything went very well. The customs was hilarious, we just walked up and it took 30 seconds. They were so kind, and dad and i couldn't believe how painless it was. We first stopped in Shannon (5AM our time, Midnight your time) and it was so rainy. And then flew to Dublin in 25 minutes. SERIOUSLY. i couldn't believe it.
We took a taxi from the airport, and i only mention this because it wasn't as weird as i thought it would be, driving on the wrong side of the road. And it's so interesting coming into Dublin because it's a very gradual change. The city just slowly grows, the neighborhoods getting bigger and more city like until you're in the heart of the city. It's beautiful.
Of course because we got into Ireland early this morning our hotel room wasn't ready...so dad and i decided to have breakfast there. Their dining room is beautiful, it was all very fancy...and in my new resolution to be more healthy i had a peach (or nectarine...i never know) and some breakfast tea (in attempts to wake up). Then we headed off to Trinity College Dublin!
We got a little lost but eventually found our way, the college is so beautiful and i can't wait to go back and actually spend some time there.
It sort of reminds me of Trin at home, but its a lot larger and more grand. Another thing i love is that all the signs are in both English and Gaelic. Which i knew were in some of the smaller irish towns, but i didn't realize it was everywhere in the city too. Although dad and i did wonder where all the street signs were (they happen to be on the buildings instead of...like back home where they have signs on street corners...hence us getting lost for the first leg of the trip).
And then eventually we trudged home. Now we're finally in the hotel, which we got into much earlier than we thought. Sorry this isn't too exciting yet...just wanted to let you all know that we're alive and having a lovely time adjusting :D Although dad's already asleep...i'm too awake (Thanks English Breakfast Tea).
Most of my shots arn't very...artistic, but thats because i keep secretly shooting them so as not to appear to touristy. A fact dad has continuously made fun of me for. :P
Love, T
ps. please forgive the writing...i have been up for 24 hours :P
