Dublin!!

Hello!
We made it. And are safe.

Yesterday we walked around all day. We saw Graffton St and all the shops. Trinity College, which was big and beautiful, Dublin Castle, St Stephens Green and lots more.

We did a great job of staying up, except when we got to St Patricks Cathedral we laid on the grass and....fell asleep for just an hour. We both have pink faces now. Last night we went to dinner off of Grafton Street and to Temple Square. We had drinks at Temple Bar. Me...a Guinness and Alex? A 7 euro vodka cran.....which consisted of half a shot of vodka and cranberry from a glass jar which the bartender handed us.

Today we went to the Guinness Store house. It was our favorite. The tour was awesome and we got a free drink at the Gravity Lounge, which is all the way on the top with a view of the city. I had a Guinness which the foam was so thick I wrote a big W in the center and Alex had a diet coke.......with a lemon...

Then we shopped and walked around and laid in St Stephens Green for a little nap. Our hostel is very clean and very nice. We miss you all lots and will post pictures and talk more when we get to Amsterdam.
We have a nice blog on Overalls coming up (apparently the new euro fashion.......)

Cheers!
Whitney and Alex
