Dublin

Scott and I spent the last week and a half road tripping around beautiful Ireland. We flew into Dublin on the most glorious day Ireland had ever seen and rested here to check out the city for a couple of days. We loved Dublin. It's such a vibrant city, full of interesting little pockets and a diverse mix of expressive cultures. We filled up on fish pie, Guinness and cider and were quite content checking out all of the local pubs and vintage stores. We stayed close to Trinity College, which is a beautiful part of town and a close walk to the Grand Canal and to my favourite part of town - the many small streets around George's Arcade. The simple buildings in Dublin are wonderful and I seemed to develop a strange fascination with their brickwork and their roofs full of chimneys! - for some reason I found them to have loads of character and are reminiscent of the many cold winters gone by. Here are a few pictures from our time in Dublin and I will follow up with our trip around the Irish coast shortly. Until then, bisous x
