B-Riv's Been Der

The week before our trip to Morocco we shared a crazy time with the infamous BRiv who spontaneously came to Dublin. Seriously, we encourage all of our friends to be more like him. First, consume many a beverages on St. Patrick's Day; two, decide that there would be nothing better than to enjoy a fresh Guinness in a real pub; three, realize that you have two friends that could make such an opportunity happen; four, leave said party to purchase online ticket to Dublin, and lastly, return to said party to continue festivities. Entire process = 5 minutes. Brett did miss a critical part of the process, which would be to check to make sure that we were around (luckily, we were), but for an unbeatable price, sometimes you just have to take a chance.

Brett was blessed with the most beautiful Irish weather we have seen since moving here....60's and sunny everyday. We took the DART to our favorite local seaside town, Howth, and then also did a hike to Kilkenny Park, which is perched upon a mountain top and overlooks towns along the coast below. We also spent many nights out at the pub and had a good time as evidenced by the Ben Der video posted earlier.
We'll throw up a few pictures later......its later:



We had one misty afternoon, on a hike to Killenny from Dalkey (recommended), it was fairly clear out and these thick, really low clouds rolled in from Wales like the front line of an army, and before you know it we could only see 40 feet in front of us, as evidenced by the last pic.
