My favorite city in the world...Dublin

I know this is a little late, but better late than never right?

To start off, here are a few pictorial highlights from the trip...

Me, doing self portraits...this was the low point of my thirteen hour journey to Dublin

Wonderful street performers

Beautiful Trinity College

I spent last weekend in Ireland and I can honestly say it was my favorite city that I have been to yet.  I had a bit of a fiasco getting there (what should have been about three hours of travel somehow turned in to thirteen) but it was all worth it! I met up with Troy and his delightful friends and we had an amazing weekend.  We did a lot of sight seeing (Guiness Factory, Trinity College, Christ Church, etc.) and had an officially crazy night out on the town- Irish style.  I have seriously never wanted to not leave a bar so badly when they kicked us out at about 3 o'clock, definitely one of the most fun nights I have ever had out.  Overall it was a very memorable weekend and I came to one important conclusion that I would love to marry an Irish man.  They are truly the most kind and generous breed of people I have come across thus far, must be something in the water...or beer, not really sure.  Thats all for now, look forward to a post coming soon about my adventures in the French Alps...

off to Ireland

So not too much new going on in Lux besides the fact that I am leaving for Ireland tomorrow!! I am meeting my friend, Troy there and I am so excited not only to see a new place but to see an old friend.  I have found that it is very comforting seeing a familiar face in this large land of strangers speaking foreign languages.  So it should be a great trip and I will try to do a post next week filled with pictures and exciting Irish adventures.

Here are some pics from the last few weeks

I may have been rocking out pretty hard...
