a view of the river in Dublin

hanging out on Trinity College's campus... can you believe Courtney Love went here? Who the heck let her in??

pretty flowers in Stephens Green park

Hanz and I being leprechauns

the next boy band of the 21st century hahaha

before our tour of the famous Guinness factory!!

this window in the Guinness factory was just too precious to pass up

the guinness advertising floor was obviously my favorite

2nd best part of the tour- free Guinness at the top! 

Can't say that Guinness is my favorite beer (or that I'm crazy about beer in general for that matter), but at least I tried it (multiple times)!

beautiful Christ Church 

the pretty

 river at night

funny story about this irishman. this is a shot of him as he came down off the stage to dance and play music in the middle of the bar. before this... my friend alex and i went over to the area right in front of the stage to take pix and watch them play when all of a sudden he looks in our direction and shouts "where ya from?!" in the middle of his music.. so i shout back "ST. LOUIS!".. and then he starts singing about how he was in st. louis playing at mcgurks last september and i said i was there on new year's eve!  for the rest of the night i was "st. louis girl" and randomly throughout his lovely irish music he would shout "ST. LOUIS!" 

i sure loved ireland, but boy do i miss good old st. louie too.
