Dublin Review

So Dublin was a lot of fun, we liked it very much. It was so green, and also nice that English was a language spoken by most. 

The day we went to Malahide was a lot of fun. I think I expected the castle to be bigger and more than it was, but it was still nice to see. Its strange to think that those buildings are older than our country. While in Malahide, we also went to the beach and walked down it a ways. Very peaceful. 

Yesterday we walked around Dublin again, but not before having a picnic in a park. 

One thing that was crazy about it was the amount of people. It was very crowded, but even stranger was that no matter what we did, which direction we were going, if we were walking or standing still: we were always in the way. We couldn't help it. It always seemed as though we were moving against the grain. The airport was no different: whether it was 1 in the morning or 5 in the morning. Even at the crack of dawn this morning, that place was wide open and stuffed - even every single little gift shop was open. Even the big airports in America are somewhat shut down at 5AM. 

Going away to another place was nice because it made Prague feel more familiar and welcoming. 

Here are some pictures: (click on them to go to an album with more, and in full size)
