Last Monday my friend from Tufts, Shawn, was visiting Dublin from Paris. I went with him and his two friends to explore Dublin. Our first stop was Croke Park, the national rugby stadium. It was nice to see where one of the most watched sports in the country was played, but the arena was FILLED with children on field trips so we opted not to tour the building's interior. We then hopped the DART (the commuter train) 15 minutes to Howth.
Howth is a fishing village just north of Dublin, that is famous here because it is home to tons of seals. Unfortunately, I couldn't seem to find the seals, so I'm making the assumption that they weren't there (and not that I am completely inept...). The guys found the town really relaxing, especially since everyone in Paris is very high-strung and they claim that it rubs off on them. The view of the ocean was beautiful, and I still cannot believe that the town is so close to Dublin, Ireland's largest city.
Check out my pics. I'll write a blurb on my sister's visit once I'm through with my three midterms this week.
Take care!
Love, Erin
