As I’m sitting here on the train from Dublin to Galway, I’m looking out at the countryside of Ireland and being reminded how beautiful this country is. We had a great four days in Dublin, and actually had no problem finding out way around the city! We even gave a few other people directions while we were there…haha. I thought Dublin was pretty and very eclectic. What I didn’t expect was just how urban it was. Obviously it is the capital of Ireland, but I guess I stereotyped it too much and expected it to consist of straw-roof flats and lots of green. In reality, there were stores everywhere. One thing I’ve noticed about Europe: just about every store (including department stores, like the equivalent of our Dillard’s/Macy’s), has a café…and some even have a supermarket. There is never a shortage of food OR variety around here. Believe it or not, I’ve only had Starbucks twice since we left the States, because the coffee shops over here are excellent!
If you’ve never been to Ireland, I’d definitely recommend a stop in Dublin. After all, it is the capital city, and it has many of the major attractions that Ireland is known for! I will admit that I’m looking forward to being in Galway and Cork for the rest of our time in Ireland, as I’m hoping it is more “traditional” in terms of Irish culture…and maybe slightly less touristy. I still had a great time in Dublin, and I am looking forward to the rest of our trip! I can’t believe we’ve only been gone for five days…it seems like its already been a lifetime. I get the feeling that this trip is going to FLY by, but we’re going to have so many great memories 🙂
