Anna and I went on our last adventure for the summer to Dublin, Ireland. The trip started out crazy when we arrived at Schiphol to find the computers were down due to a Microsoft/CrowdStrike issue. Anna had to get a handwritten ticket. Handwritten.

| The Liffey, which runs through Dublin and where rumor says Guinness is made from but not true. |

| The famous Temple Bar |
 |
| The Love Wall which was created to stop “the locks” on bridges and gets repainted weekly. |
Anna is taking classes over the summer so I napped while she did some homework and then we went out for some drinks. Dublin is a city for drinking no doubt.

| The famous Temple Bar where Anna sang her heart out! |
Day two we slept in. Late. And then took a train to Malahide to see the castle. It is a quiet little town with a harbor but we enjoyed the day. That night Anna finished all her assignments and completed a very challenging summer semester.
Sunday we took a bus to the Howth summit and walk down to the city, along the sea. It was a beautiful view. We had seafood for lunch and ice cream for dessert.
Everyone told me Dublin is “just for drinking” but we found plenty to do. We stayed at the Abbey Court Hostel which was a great location. Flights can be pretty cheap from Amsterdam. I will be back.
