Dublin, Ireland

We have been in Dublin, Ireland for two days now. The city is nice. We have met many locals who are all very friendly and helpful. Sri and I have learned the public transportation system, The Dart, which is great! Its a 2 minute walk to the Dart station from our hotel and it takes us from Southern Dublin, to the Northern part. I love trains, you can see so much of the out skirts of the towns. Yesterday, we took the Dart to the City Center, where all the St. Patty's day parade and parties were happening. There were tons of people on the streets, mostly teenagers. The adults were in the bars all day drinking. Its amazing, there is a pub in every corner in the city of Dublin. We can not walk ten feet without running into another pub. The local food here is, seafood gumbo, lots of various potato dishes and beef dishes, but all in all its pretty American, burgers, sandwiches, and beer :)

We walked throughout Dublin today. We saw the Dublin Castle, went to Trinity College, the Dublin River, Liffuy, the Temple bar district and tons of cathedrals. A lot of the architecture of Dublin reminds me of Boston, MA. The churches and castles all seem to have inspired Bostons architecture.

We both have taken many pictures, but forgot our usb plug to download ;) so no pics for this post, but hopefully the next one.

The weather here is cloudy and cold! I love it, but the wind does get cold!

Tomorrow Sri and I have decided to visit the country side of Ireland, and then off to our next country.
