First post from Ireland

Were having trouble with the internet connection so pics might be a little slow coming.  It has been great here so far. The Plane ride was very long but worth it. 

Day 1: When we got in Sandy and I found that they lost our luggage.  I finally got my mine later in the afternoon, but Sandy's went to Budapest(she did get it the next day). We went to the Brazen Head Pub which is the oldest pub in Ireland.  We had Irish Stew, Mussels and Guinness and yes Guinness is way better here.

We then wandered around Dublin and ended up at a Pub called "the Pale", it was recommended by the apartment staff (when she said it, it sounded like the "Da Payne" so either that's how they pronounce it or we went to the wrong place.) Not to be too much of a foodie but Dad will want to know what we had to eat we had Fish and chips, Bangers and mash, and of course Guinness.

It ended up being a pretty early night with the jet lag so that was pretty much day 1.

Day 2: Started off the day with a 5K race through the streets of Dublin.  I managed to do it in 25:45 which considering my state was pretty good.  We then wandered through Temple Bar and Christ Church on our way back to the apartment.  So far that's about it, but the day is still young it's lunch time now so I'll try to write something tonight provided I can still type by that point..ha :)
