We all woke up early today. Penny and Amy got coffee + pastries from a local cafe and after breakfast Ryan went on a run to the city center. (He and David ran together in Norwich, and he says he wants to keep it up.) We did some laundry and read our books for a while before heading out for the day. We walked for a few miles along the waterfront before stopping for a quick bite to eat at a cafe. Then we went to the Titanic museum which was incredible. Intricate and engaging, the exhibit was totally immersive. We all had a lovely time. After that we stopped at a pub (but Penny wasn’t allowed in), so got some drinks to enjoy outside. Once we walked back to the house, we had some quiet time before going out for a delicious dinner at the Errigle Inn. We shopped for breakfast and lunch for Friday, then came home to retire for the night.En savoir plus

We had quite the busy day!! We did a black cab tour of the causeway and Belfast. Our tour driver, Paddy, picked us up at 8:30. A quick note on him: a Belfast native, he founded his tour company here. He was lovely to us but not completely unbiased like he claimed to be. When someone lives through something like the troubles here, they tend to have opinions that shine through. Anyway, we started off up at the rope bridge right on the coast about an hour north of the city. From there, we headed towards Giant’s Causeway to climb the rocks. After spending approximately 4 hours up North, we came back to Belfast for our mural tour. Next we got dropped off in the city center for drinks, and then stopped to pick up a pizza at Greens Pizza on the way home. We spent our evening relaxing after our long day. (Author’s note: this post is long but not incredibly detailed because the photos show more than the words.)En savoir plus

We spent this morning packing and getting ready for our train ride. After having some coffee + pastries, we walked to the station - it was quite the hike!! Once there, we sat for a while before joining the queue to board. Luckily, mom had already bought tickets and the only ones left were first class, so we had no problems getting seats. Our ride took about 2 hours, and after arriving in Dublin we took the DART to Dun Laoghaire. From there, the woman we’re renting our house from, Gillian, picked us up and brought us to her/our home. She showed us around before heading out to her own holiday. We checked out the town, stopping for drinks in McKenna’s pub and later getting delicious food in Gourmet Food Pantry. After braving the rain home, we ended our day by watching Titanic.En savoir plus

We slept in this morning and then spent some time figuring out the coffee + tea machines. Amy and Penny then both showered before going to the farmer’s market and library. While we were out, Ryan did some work and then went running (10 miles!) to check out his soon-to-be campus. Us girls came home to an empty house and decided to get some groceries for our stay. We came back and the three of us chilled for a while before deciding to take some Peloton classes. After that we had dinner and played some cards to finish our evening.En savoir plus

Voyageur Holy cats Ryan- 10 miles & your foot didn’t complain? Looks like a perfectly lovely chill day. & Brenden Behan?? There must be a very interesting reason he’s there beside Oscar Wilde…..

Voyageur Hmm, foot (and all leg muscles) are complaining — but what do they know?

The highlight of our day was having coffee with our lovely neighbors, Sara and Briggs from Baltimore! We went to their house at 10. Afterwards, we headed home and Penny + Amy left for the Maritime museum, next to the library. It wasn’t as interesting as the Titanic exhibit, understandably. We then went to the library where we stayed for over an hour, reading and exploring. Then we got some public transit cards, and trekked over to the one wine and liquor store in the area to get some drinks. All the while, Ryan was preparing lectures for the upcoming semester. Together, we exercised, cooked, and chilled in the evening and watched some Derry Girls. We’re hooked.En savoir plus

Today was really fun! We all slept in and then went our separate ways. Ryan headed to campus for a day of meeting people and Penny + Amy headed south along the coastline. Us girls walked the 2 miles to Dalkey where we stopped for lunch in Finnegan’s pub. We walked around for a bit before going to the James Joyce castle where he got the inspiration for the setting of Ulysses. After exploring the tiny museum we went to the library where we read for about 2 hours. The three of us met back at home where we all chilled before Amy + Ryan went for a walk on the pier. Later, dinner was a team effort and we spent our evening playing more cards.En savoir plus

Our day started around 8 o’clock this morning. We got ready for the day and were soon walking either to the bus stop or to the University College of Dublin (guess who was going where). Mom and I were headed to the next house we’ll be staying in. The owners gave us a tour and we all chatted until quarter past 11. After we said our goodbyes, we headed out into the city center for lunch (we got bagels two blocks away at a place called Bretzel). St. Stephen’s park was lovely and we walked around the city for a bit. We then took the bus to the library (ice cream first of course) where we met Dad. I stayed while Mom + Dad went out for a bite and I met them at home. The afternoon to evening was a blur, my parents worked out and we all had some downtime. Eventually, we had dinner and watched Only Murders In The Building.En savoir plus

This may have been our rainiest day to date. It started before 7 in the morning when my parents woke up and continued for 13 hours. I woke up around 8:30 and we all lazed about this morning until Mom and I went for a run. We went 1.5 miles (woo!) and walked back to town to get coffee. We came home with chocolates we all loved and the three of us had some more downtime. I headed to Eason for a planner and then the library. Mom met me there while Dad was running. After what I think was 30 minutes, Mom and I went to Tesco for more food. We met Dad at home and spent the afternoon baking a cake/bread hybrid, doing pilates, and eating dinner while watching—take a guess—Derry Girls!En savoir plus

Today we checked out another seaside town, Howth! But first, the fam did our daily word games and then Mom and I went running. After showering, we all walked to get coffee. From there we trekked to the pier to catch our ferry. We had amazing views and it only took about an hour. Once in Howth Bay, we got some fish + chips for lunch then headed up to the cliff walk. If the ferry views were good, these were priceless. Having walked the whole path, we hiked down to town for ice cream before catching the DART home. That also only took an hour and before no time, we were back to the house and chilling. Mom and I booked our flights to Lisbon—and Paris, surprise! We had a snack plate for dinner and are now heading to bed.En savoir plus

Today we woke up and decided we wanted to go swimming in the sea. So, we did! We hung around all morning before heading to the Forty foot where we all went in! Very, very fun. After a cool swim (ha) we walked to Sandycove and got some toasties and drinks for lunch. From there we walked home and cleaned off. Mom went to pick up some charcuterie. Dad wrote. Our neighbors, Sara and Briggs, who we met for coffee on Monday, came over for a drink before they headed out to dinner. Afterwards, we cooked a pasta dinner for ourselves and settled for a few episodes of Only Murders In The Building.En savoir plus
