Ireland


At the brewery drinking my first pint.


Driving the rental car.


They don't look Irish do they?



At the Guiness brewery obviously.




We were so tired from our 6 hour flight, being up for 19 hours, and drinking a few Guiness' that we had to take a cab to our hostel which was a 10 minute walk away.





This sign means; "Don't drive your facking car off the facking dack"




The coastal city of Bray
































Glendaloch. A really old monastery.



The mountains? So say the locals. Not sure if something is lost in the translation or if this is it.












That is a giant Protestant church and our tour guides head. There are no Catholic churches in Dublin because Catholicism was outlawed centuries ago.


This the Temple Bar area; where all the tourist bars are.







Dustin and I by the river


This the worlds tallest sculpture, the Spire. The locals call it the "stiletto in the ghetto" because it's on the bad side of town. Cost $6 million and has no use other than a point of reference when you're drunk in the city and don't know your bearings.


They evidently have a pretty bad drug problem. This is a crack vile that was on the ground by us in the park.




Some Indians playing Cricket at Trinity College




Dustin in the restaurant.



In a restaurant called Soho. Thought we'd determine how true the name was.



This is the hostel room we stayed in. $78 for the entire trip, but we had to share the room and 1 bathroom / shower with 10 other people.
