So on friday morning, Frank and I went to visit the Guiness Brewery and it was really just OK. I mean it is a self guided tour so basically you just walk around and read how they make guiness beer...but the best part is the free beer at the Gravity Bar which is at the top of the building. So you can sip your beer while looking at Dublin city from a very nice point of view.
After we met Roisin at the bus station and moved to her place. What a lovely house and family!!!! Roisin then drove us to Powerscourt garden to have lunch and OH wow what a beautiful garden with amazing mountains in the background!!!!! Then we headed to Glendalough, which is a valley where there a monastery St-Kevin. We visited the ruins and walk the path around the lower and upper lake. We hiked the mountain for 2 hours because we took the wrong path:P
we were so tired of the walk that we decided to just stay in and chill with Roisin's family!
The next day we had a little road trip with Ro and Si. They drove us to Slane (Meath County) where we met up with my great aunt and uncle. From there, my great uncle drove us back to his house in CastleBlaney (Monaghan county). They have a house on a hill and they have a mazing view from their backyard of the mountains, horses and very loud cows!!!
Then by bus and train, frank and i headed back to Ro and went out to a friend's house for pre-drinks and then went to a bar called the village. Johanne, you will be very proud of me!!! I got drunk on Long Island Teas:P
But ended up very sick the next morning!
So now we are in Cork and tonight will a very relaxing night!!! Tomorrow Blarney castle!!!!

Why don't you guys have a swim while in Cork. You Cork soakers.
First of all... Way to go Dev... very nice pun!!!
Second, Yes Kristelle I am very proud of you, not to mention amazed. By sheer coincidence I was considering having a Long Island Ice Tea today, but then I read the ingredients and realized it would probably kill me!!! So congratulations on surviving!!!
I'd always heard that Ireland was a beautiful country and your descriptions really seem to back that up!
Happy Travels
Jo
The trip just started and you're already drunk. That's not what I taught you.
Just kidding. Glad you're both enjoying you're trip.
When are we seeing pictures.
Dad.

HI Kristelle!
Sounds like you are having a good time! Make sure to try a Black Velvet which is Cider and Guiness mixed together by pouring the guiness off of a spoon. It is delicious!
Kris!!!!
I finally found internet! Yay!! I love how you had to mention that you got sick off the alcohol. Somehow, I am not at all surprised...
Also, congratulations to Roisin for still taking "that Irish way up" all those mountains!! Good work.
I don't get Dev's joke...
I love you! And Frank too!
Steph :)

Can't wait to read what's next!
Lol, oh how I secretly wish I could be there too!
