How to Spend One Week in Dublin, Ireland

HOW TO SPEND ONE WEEK IN DUBLIN

Before my sisters and friends arrived for our road trip across Ireland, Sam and I had one week in Dublin. At first, I thought this would be too long, but once the wind started blowing and the rain started pouring, we were glad to have a few additional days to work around the weather. Our week in Dublin was very laid back, but in the end, we managed to see, eat and drink everything we wanted to. Here's a look at what we got up to:

Even though I'm no longer a student, I still enjoy touring university campuses, especially when we're talking about one as beautiful as Trinity College. Sam and I signed up to do a campus tour which is run by current students, and it was really cool hearing about their experiences studying there as well as hearing all the good gossip on former students like Bram Stoker (Dracula), Jonathan Swift (Gulliver's Travels), and Oscar Wilde (The Picture of Dorian Gray). Trinity College sure churned out a lot of writers!

The laugh out loud moment of the tour was me trying to decipher the tour guide's name tag which read 'Eoin'. How would you pronounce that?! Eee-oh-een? Well, apparently in Ireland that's how you write the name 'Owen'. I felt like Amy Adams in the movie Leap Year when she's trying to pronounce the bartender's name which reads 'Eoghan'. Eee-oh-ghan? Nope, apparently that is also pronounced 'Owen'. Baffles me! When in doubt just go with Owen!
