Wanderlust | Dublin, Ireland

Two weekends ago, the lovely Selina and I took a fun adventure to the heart of Ireland, the beautiful city of Dublin. While we had very limited time to spend there, we had fun all the same--though let's be real, I still don't like Guinness.

The stunningly beautiful Trinity College, where a Harry Potter lookalike showed us around.

The Long Room at Trinity, right after seeing The Book of Kells, which is WONDERFUL.

Gasp inhale stare gawk hyperventilate contemplate stealing

Dublin Castle, where we awkwardly walked around because we didn't want to pay the fee to go in oops

Christ Church, which was beautiful inside and also was a filming site for The Tudors so I mean obvz that's the most important part.

Dublin's first tea shop right in the middle of Temple Bar! We had a delicious breakfast.

Where the fun began.

I thought pouring my own pint would make it better.....

nope.



Best drink ever. Warm apple cider with apple brandy? Sounds good to me.



So while the pictures are limited, I had a great time catching up with Selina and exploring Dublin. We felt it was still very much a city haunted by it's industrial and dim past, but all the same, beauty lies within a culture's history, so I very much didn't mind. However, I definitely want to visit the countryside next time I find myself in Ireland and see some of the hidden treasures of the country. I think the most successful part of the trip was fitting all of my belongings and souvenirs into my teeny tiny backpack! There were some things I had to wear on the plane back, but what matters is that they came back!


This past weekend was, of course, Geek Weekend, so keep checking back for posts on that!
