Dublin!

Another crazy day!

Today we traveled a lot and had to wake up early. We crossed basically all of Ireland going from Galway to Dublin. We stopped in Clonmacnoise however b

efore getting into Dublin.

Clonmacnoise is an old monastery. It was originally built around the 4^th century. But between warring groups and other disasters caused the original structures to come down. Now the ruins that are left are made from stones. It was a beautiful set of ruins that had a lot of history. There were a lot of different kingdoms that shared the land and two different types of churches. There were also a lot of different kinds of crosses and ruins that were just very interesting. I really enjoyed it and it was beautiful. The different crosses represented different types of biblical and pagan scriptures.

Then we travelled the rest of the way to Dublin! Where of course the first stop was to the Guinness Brewery! It was so interesting to finally see how this beer was created. I think my favorite part was being able to see all of the old commercials that they have made throughout time. But then I got to try a Guinness at the factory and I am still not all that much of a fan.

Overall a really awesome day! I can’t wait to explore Dublin more!

Until then!
