I have created this blog as I start my journey to, and adventure in, Ireland.

These are a few of my favorite (Irish) things...
- Afternoon tea at Bewley’s on Grafton street: If you sit on the second level by the window you can people watch all afternoon long while enjoying some delicious Irish afternoon tea.
- Chester Beatty Library on the Dublin Castle grounds: It’s actually a museum of various religious texts/art/etc. It’s free and quiet and relaxing and it has a zen garden on the rooftop that overlooks the castle and castle garden.
- Cliffs of Moher: Despite my intense fear of heights and the lack of any boundary between me and the sea way far below, it’s gorgeous and something everyone should see. I was really excited to see some puffins (they nest there) but they must have been sleeping while we were there. Someday I WILL see one.
- Gallagher’s Boxty House in Temple Bar: Rachel Ray was right, it’s delicious and you get to listen to live trad music while you eat.
- Glencolumbkille: My favorite place on earth. Nice scenery, good people, lots of craic agus ceol.
- Kilmainham Gaol: An infamous jail where all of the leaders of Ireland’s uprisings were imprisoned and executed. It has been the setting for many a movie/Sinead O’Connor music video/U2 music video.
- Marshmallow hot chocolate on a rainy day at Butler’s Chocolate Cafe on Henry Street (I think Mallory can attest to this one)
- Nuala Star: Captain Paddy’s fishing boat docked in Teelin, County Donegal. Paddy will take you out on his fishing boat and drive you along the coast for a small fee. Excellent on a hot day.
- Silver Strand Beach: In County Donegal, I think the town is Malin Beg (next to Glencolumbkille). It’s gorgeous and well hidden.
- The Wild Wicklow Tour
