Dublin Day One

So we made it here. Alive and well. Air Lingus was well beyond my expectations and the flight was extremely easy. Only a short five hours. When my mother and I first landed we got some tea, coffee, and breakfast as we waited for my brother to arrive a few hours later. Eventually he made it and the adventure really began. 

First step was getting our rental car. We chose not to pay for insurance so I have the added pressure of not crashing. Oh boy. And they drive on the wrong side of the road here - which, to be honest hasn't been that bad. Only slightly harrowing in certain parts of downtown Dublin. So yes, we're in Dublin now. Mom and bro are recharging with quick naps and I'm just wandering around taking in what I can myself. Before they crashed we walked around for a bit, got lunch (first real meal was bangers and mash), had my first Guinness. WAY better here than in the states and checked into  the apartment we are staying in. Who knows what is on store for tonight but we'll determine that when they wake up. 


Bangers!
