i was able to spend two days in dublin, ireland! i walked around the entire time and saw the stuff that all tourists see, like the book of kells and impressive library at trinity college, the temple bar neighborhood, christ church cathedral, st. patrick’s cathedral, the guinness storehouse, the teeling whiskey distillery, and some live music, among other things. i also took a very interesting daytrip by train to belfast, northern ireland, which was quite easy. my hostel experience at the lyndon house in dublin was unequivocally the worst of my life, as a hoarder in the room next to me was being actively forced to move out of his room which he appeared to have been living in for years, possibly without leaving to use the toilet, but i won’t let that define my perspective on ireland! this visit was notable as ireland was the final country for me to visit in europe – i have now been to them all!
