I went to Northern Ireland to meet my wife's family. Then we did the Bed N Breakfast thing around northern Northern Ireland and Donegal. We took the tour of the Bushmill's distillery and picked up a bottle of 12 year old that can only be purchased at the distillery. We saw the Marble Arches caves. We visited friends on a working cow and lamb farm. We walked the ruins of castles. We walked the castles still standing. Ireland has as many castles as France! It was a great time. But we saved the best for last: Dublin. It's a very metropolitan city. Well, except for the buildings that are hundreds of years old! We took the Hop on Hop off bus to St. James Gate and started the Guiness tour. The Guinness Storehouse as the call it, is the number one most visited attraction in all of Ireland! That's world famous beer! Here are some pics:

The best darned Guinness store anywhere.

Funny sign when you're in line to buy a ticket
They weren't too happy when I drank directly from the fermentation tank!
It was a fun trip. If you're in Dublin, stop by the Storehouse it is worth the 10 Euro to enter.
<-- Me.... Green with envy....
