Today is the 250th anniversary of Guinness = lots of drinking. I'm going to be going out tonight for my SIXTH night in a row. Guinness is a lot better than in America, although I still prefer the light beers. The beer has a lot more alcohol in it, which means I get to buy less beer thankfully! There is multiple pubs and one night club (The Helix) here on campus. It's a pretty amazing atmosphere!!
I am constantly amazed when I meet Irish people and the first thing they say is, "I love your accent!" Who would have guessed the American accent is a good one?! It's much different than all of the other international students because they are mostly from Europe. Dublin is an extremely diverse city and I love it!
A Hurling/Guinness Billboard... I have talked to some Irish lads about joining the hurling club and I'm very excited about it!
The doors are all different colors. The story is that the Irish (Dubliners - people in Dublin) will get so drunk at night they get lost, so the doors are painted different colors to make it easier.
Only part of the Guinness Brewery... it is HUGE!

More gorgeous flowers that are all over the buildings and my friend Diego from Spain!
Phoenix Park - it is twice the size of Central Park in NY! We are going to spend an entire day here... rent bikes & pack a picnic! The pictures suck, but the place is actually beautiful. I was just very far in the bus.
more of the park & proof of the good weather we've been lucky to have :)
