Our First Few Days

Hey everyone! We're at an internet cafe right now so I don't have time to post much but I just thought I'd put up a little update to let everyone know we're still alive! We flew into Dublin a few days ago and spent the morning walking around, seeing the Book of Kells and checking out the National Museum. Then, after a much needed nap, we went to the Guinness Storehouse and had a couple pints of Guinness at the highest point in Dublin! The next day we picked up our car and headed south to the Wicklow Mountains. We spent the day driving around the mountains while getting used to driving on the left side of the road. We only had one or two near-death experiences, so I think that, all in all, we did a pretty good job :). That spent that night in a hostel in a small town called Rathdrum and then yesterday we went back into the mountains to an old monastic site called Glendalough. There were some beautiful ruins there that we explored and we also went hiking around the site for the day. While we were hiking we even saw some Peregrine Falcons! After that, we drove over to the town of Wicklow on the east coast and spent the night in a really nice Bed and Breakfast. Today we're headed down the coastline to Wexford, Waterford, and Kilkenny. Hopefully next time we're online we'll have time to put up some pictures soon so you can all see some of the awesome stuff that we've been doing!
