Over the Easter holiday I had the great pleasure of traveling to Dublin Ireland to celebrate my parents 80th birthday. It was a real family affair, 13 of us in all.
We left on Thursday from a rainy Stockholm and arrived in an equally rainy Dublin. So we were faced with what to do first ? Being a beer fan, the first thing that came to mind was Guinness. Can you believe a beer museum with 7 floors? The House of Guinness is a showcae of how this wonderful brew is produced, the hisotry of the company, but best of all was the fantastic bar on the top floor where one can see all of Dublin.
After seven floors of brew touring we ventured off for a walk. Temple Bar is a lively section of town, with many restaurants, pubs,entertaninment, and many other amusing things to keep busy with. As we walked through the quarter, musicians played, clowns goofed around, and jugglers tumbled and threw their various wares.
The only way to end the day was in a "classic" pub. We all ordered a seafood platter which held cockels and mussels and many other sorts of fine fish, all washed down with a guiness of course. An irish coffee was the perfect way to end the day before we started it all again the next day.
