Observations: The people of Ireland are some of the friendliest people I have ever met. Almost polar opposites from the Italians. They laugh all the time and are not afraid to make fun of themselves. They don't take life too seriously.
We went to the windy coast of Howth and got a feel for Irish life outside of the big city. It was cold, but sunny and beautiful at the same time. We were lucky enough to spot a rainbow, but not quite daring enough to jump in and give a go at searching for the Pot of Gold :)
The next day we tracked down the Guinness factory. (photo courtesy of Cinnamon Janzer) We arrived just after 5, closing time, so we didn't get to go on the touristy tour. Little did we know, however, it was actually 4 o'clock! All three of us had forgotten to set our watches back so our entire day had been off. We didn't find this out until after dinner that night- it's amazing how big of a difference an hour makes.
Immediately after getting off the plane Paige and Cinnamon and I headed straight for a Pub to have our first Guinness in Ireland. Within an hour of being there we saw some guy's underwear literally ripped off of him by his friends. They then proceeded to carry it around in their mouths and throw it around the pub. It grazed my shoulder once... it was a close call.
