Dublin!

Well, we have spent the last two days immersed in the joy that is Dublin culture. On Monday, we took a fairly bumpy ferry ride from Liverpool to Dublin and enjoyed watching people stumble all over the place. Brad of course decided to walk to the bathroom when a huge rocky wave hit and rocked the boat so hard everyone gasped and Brad ended up hugging a pole. Once in Dublin, we had enough time to get to our awesome hotel called Clontarf Castle, and go explore. As of today, we have visited the Temple Bar, O'Connell Street and went to Christ Church Cathedral, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin Castle, visited numerous pubs, have had countless pints of Guinness, and have visited the Guinness Brewery. It was a sight to be seen! Irish people have been extremely kind so far, and mostly easy to understand... When we get into the more Gaelic-speaking parts of Ireland, we may have some difficulty. Tomorrow we begin our crazy driving adventure! People drive like maniacs here and stop for nothing. The lines are jus guidelines. Also, on a side note, our cellphone companies are ripping us off in Canada. Brad bought a 2 GB SIM for €10. What the heck!
