We are now in Dublin!  We took the train from Cork to Dublin and it was awesome.  The train took about 2.5 hours and we stopped in a few small towns which was a great way to see some of the Irish countryside.  It was a sunny day so the ride was beautiful!

Our Dublin hotel is the Temple Bar Hotel and is right in the heart of Dublin which is a perfect way to spend the last 2 nights.  Last night we walked through the streets and ate steak and ale pie and Irish stew.  We stopped along the way to hear some amazing Irish musicians.  They played a mix of old Irish tunes and a few to make the US folks feel at home!  It is quite busy here with a fun mix of different nationalities - US, UK, Netherlands, Spain, and more.

Today is a trip to Sean's mothership, The Guinness Factory.  We tour the factory, become "certified" in how to pour a Guinness and will have drinks at the Gravity Bar which overlooks the city.  We also have reservations at the restaurant at the factory, so it is a full day...Sean is so excited that he could hardly sleep, lol!

We cant believe that we are at the end of the trip - we leave tomorrow (Sat 10/1) but have had an amazing time.

One more update to the blog tomorrow...but today we Guinness!
