Piere, Mon, our new friend from Chicago, me, & our other new French surgeon friend who bought us a Papa John's Pizza. By the way the garlic sauce in Dublin is garlic mayo, very disappointing.
Piere, me, Alex, & our new friend Mary biting Alex's nipple,
we have no idea why,
all we know is he had bite marks in the morning...
The Irish Coffee was really hot,
luckily Piere kept his Starbucks coffee holder.
We took a picture with a Leprechaun!
Hope we have good luck.

It takes up to 7 years for Jameson to mature in the barrel,
over half of it evaporates, thats why Jameson is so expensive.
I learned so much on the tour.

Loved playing games in our hostel kitchen, so much fun!
They even have an American Flag!
The crazy Irish guy, at least he let me where his hat.
Take me to the Candy Shop, let me lick the lolly pop.
We made up some crazy songs & dances in our hostel.

I had the giggles the whole trip
Like I mentioned ealier Monica & Piere kept taking pictures
with people in their Burger King Crowns.. they went into
a very fancy hotel and wanted to take a picture withthe doorman the only
problem was there was nobody totake the picture. Monica solved
that problem by going into a party that was put on at the hotel and asked
some lady if she would come into the lobby
to take a picture of them. All while wearing the crown..
I love Dublin!
Part of the Guiness Storehouse Tour, you
got to poor your own pint of Guiness!

Train ride on the way to Oslo, complimentary eye cover,
blanket, & ear plugs thats what I am taking about.

had to leave our hostel at 4am and take a 30min bus to the airport,
3 hour flight to Oslo, 3 hour wait in the airport for our train, 1
hour train to Oslo Central Station, 5 hour train ride back to Kristiansand.

For all I know it could have been a leak in the roof.
I have never seen it rain so hard as it did the last day we were
in Dublin nd I live in Portland, OR! Two people died and hundreds
were stranded in after torrential rain closed roads and rail lines,
left shops and homes under water and
led to Dublin being put on an emergency footing.
More than one month's rain fell on Dublin in 24 hours,
causing rivers to break their banks and flooding the country's largest shopping centre.
Temple Bar District, where we stayed the first two nights.
Temple Bar District is probably the most touristy
part of Dublin, but I loved it!
I couldn't stop laughing so I had to put my hat over my face.
First hostel had the place to ourselves!

Tour Guide: The old fashion way to catch mice
in the barley shed was to have a cat.
This one did such a good job they stuffed him and
that's truely him here today.
Amanda's thoughts: I don't know if he is joking or not.
Alex ate so much lamb on the trip,
I decided to stick a sticker on his back that said,
"I love Irish Sheep!" No he didn't know about it.
Yes it was on there for hours.
