Ireland

Hello all,

Last last night I arrived back from Ireland. It was great! I wish I would have had more time there. On Saturday I flew into Dublin. After quickly dropping my bags at the hotel I set off to explore the city. In order to get my bearings, I hopped on a tour bus that goes all around Dublin and stops at all of the major attractions. Halfway through the tour I stopped off in the area of Temple Bar to have lunch. I ended up at a pub called Stag Head for an irish lunch consisting of fish, chips and a pint. Mmmmm..... After being fueled up, my plan was to tour the Guinness Storehouse. However in my rush to get going I left my ticket at the hotel. So I changed gears and decided to tour the Jameson Distillary instead. It was very education and I learned much about making whiskey. In order to make sure that my education was complete, I sampled a few as well.

Next morning I quickly toured the Guiness Storehouse. I could have spent hours in there as that was much more interesting to me when compared to the Jameson distillary. The views of Dublin from the Gravity Bar are amazing. I took some photos on my new blackberry but am having problem downloading them. But as soon as I have them I will post them for all to see. After chugging a pint of Guiness it was time to head to Galway. And that is where my sightseeing fun eneded. I worked the whole time I was in Galway. All I saw in Galway was Accellent's manufacturing site and the inside of a few pubs. I need to plan a proper holiday there and see all that the island has to offer. Hopefully it won't be long before I get back there.

Saturday I leave for holiday. I am traveling to Mitterfels Germany which is in the Barvarian Alps for a week of hiking, biking and relaxing. I haven't had a vacation in over a year so it is going to be a welcome break from the madness that is known as my life.
