Ireland

Ireland. Ireland. Ireland. What can I say about Ireland? Ireland reminded me a lot of home, however it was probably my least favourite place that we visited. I think it was just a case of bad weather, not feeling well and bad timing. I was walking around with a pulled muscle in my back and Meighan had a kidney stone, so we were in misery but still trying to enjoy Ireland as much as we could. I don't have a whole lot of pictures, as it rained (and I mean rained) the entire time we were there. We were literally soaked to the bone, and as we were only going for one night, we hadn't packed a whole lot.

Anyway, lets get into the good things about Ireland, well actually Dublin. Dublin is very pretty and the people are for the most part very friendly. I say for the most part because I was crossing the road on a green man (which turned red when I was 3/4 of the way across) and the bus driver blew his horn and literally put the petal to the metal. I literally saw my life flash before my eyes and I am not exaggerating when I say I felt the wind from the bus on my back, that's how close it was. We went on a tour bus and saw Dublin three times (because it was legit pouring and it was the only way to not get pneumonia). I took some pictures but they either have a horrible reflection from the window, or are really great pictures of water droplets.

We did go into a pub in Dublin, and I did have a pint of beer. We decided to have Guinness, seeing how we were in the country. It is so disgusting, I have never tasted anything so vile in my life. But after paying almost $8 Canadian for it, I drank it all.

When I got back to the hotel, I was able to see cute little Jesse for the first time. I honestly spent 45 minutes crying and Meighan probably thought that I was crazy. He is so perfect and cute and ugh, I cannot wait to get home so I can meet him and Rylee! I am so homesick for babies, I'm losing my mind.

I'm getting really off track. The next day, we went on the bus tour again because there was this really cool museum that used to be a jail, that we wanted to visit. When we got to the museum, we found out that it was closed because it had flooded the day before from all of the rain *insert side-eye emoticon here*. It was rainy and cold, and we felt like we had seen everything that there was to see, so we went to McDonalds (big mac in 7 countries now) and mooched their wifi for an hour before we had to go to the airport.

I am really late posting this because I've been busy with school, I've been severely homesick, and I've been FaceTiming babies for a couple of hours a day. I'm not going to post anything about this weekend because we're just staying in Harlow.
