We are in Dublin and sitting at McDonald's (of all places) using their free wireless. We had a 2.5 hour delay out of Louisville and just BARELY made it on our flight from Newark to Dublin. The Newark airport is very busy and we had to go to a new terminal after we landed, which was good because it was closer to our departing terminal than it initially had been. We got to see the NY skyline and the Statue of Liberty as we flew in, so that was exciting.
I also saw a sunset and a sunrise on the plane. Andrew got a bit of sleep on the plane, but Ray and I neither one really slept much. It may have been excitement or just the inability to get comfortable. Either way, it is 4:15 right now and we are about ready for a nap....or more caffeine! Our coffee from breakfast is wearing off. Poor Ray is actually sitting here at the table dozing off!
It's chilly and drizzly here today, but that hasn't deterred us from trekking around the city. We have seen some AMAZING churches and went to the Guinness Storehouse, which was a lot of fun. It had a tour telling about the ingredient and the process of making it and such. At the top of the Storehouse is a glass bar where you can see all of Dublin and enjoy a complimentary pint of Guinness.
Since arriving at the Louisville airport, we have walked 5.5 miles. At this rate we are all going to lose weight, which will be fine by me :)
There will be LOTS of picture because I've already taken 150+.
Here is a picture of us at the Guinness place with Dublin in the background.
*Just a side note...if uploading pictures is always this big of a pain--it's taken 15 minutes to try one picture--then we will have to find another way for you guys to see the pictures!*
I guess that's all we need to say. I want to quit "hogging" the computer and give Andrew and Ray a chance to get on.
We will keep you guys posted!
