Went to Ireland

The marching band (and our sister band) that I was a member of in college was invited by the Irish government to perform in the New Years parade in Dublin. Alumn were invited and my girlfriend is a senior this year, so I decided to go. We departed Boston in the evening on 12/26 and returned on the evening of 1/4. We spent 12/27 to 12/31 in Galway then went to Dublin for the rest. It was an awesome time and I'd recommend a trip there to anybody. The weather could have been better, but the Guinness was still great and the accents even better. I took over 2k pictures with my Nikon D60 while we were there, and about 225 were "good enough" to bother hosting. I put them on my facebook and set the albums to public so that all should be able to see them, rather than posting 225 pictures on here. If you can't see them, let me know and I'll figure something else out. Also, if anyone wants any Hi-Res, let me know and I can send them to you. Enjoy.

I think I see a pattern here. You only visit countries known for their beer...

i don't see the problem with that...?

as good as the pubs were, i honestly found the food to be lacking... maybe that was on account of the 500 person tour group i was with.

i brought back a bottle of mead too. i've never had it before. it's quite tasty.
