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.
efore getting into Dublin.
Clonmacnoise is an old monastery. It was
originally built around the 4th 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!
