Ireland

Last stop on the spring break extravaganza: Ireland!!

After a little mishap, I was able to take a ferry that went from Island to Island. It was an amazing ride with some great people and we had fun exploring the boat which was complete with an arcade and a movie theater.

After arriving in Dublin, we started exploring and inspecting all of the Irish souvenirs. After spending some money, we were then all ready to go to a pub and try some Irish food as well as enjoy some great music. Although I don't remember the name, the pub that we went to was absolutely amazing! The food was absolutely incredible and I think it was mostly because it was similar to stuff we would have at home (great comfort food). After finishing, we then started to hear some music playing and some clapping and of course, had to see what was happening. We arrived in time to see a couple dancing an Irish jig to some great music and of course, we joined in with clapping along!

After a night spent in Dublin, we then headed out bright and early to see the Cliffs of Moher. Our bus tour guide was great and I think we all enjoyed listening to his accent. After stopping at some castles along the way, we made it to the Cliffs in the early afternoon on a clear sunny day. Although it usually rains in Ireland, we had nearly perfect weather for our entire 2 week trip which was incredible! And on a clear day, the cliffs are amazing! If anyone ever makes it to Ireland, the Cliffs are a must-see (But make sure to actually be careful and don't get too close to the edge because it IS slippery and a long way down). And side note: they also filmed a scene from Harry Potter there too (You could say I really loved the UK!!!)






Our next day in Ireland was also spent exploring the countryside. Ireland is absolutely beautiful and full of great mountain views, lots of waterfalls, some lakes, and thousands of sheep! The sheep were sooo cute! and a lot of them had babies too!

Needless to say, Ireland was amazing and I hope to make it back one day. It was incredible, and a great way to end spring break! We really didn't want to leave and wanted to keep exploring the country, but alas, it was time to get back to Spain and "reality" (and studying). It's been interesting getting back into the swing of things and crazy to think there's only 7 weeks left! This means we've got to make the most of it!
Next trip: Sevilla and Granada (the two Spanish cities I'm looking forward to the most!)
