You can all breath a sigh of relief. I am back from the Cliffs of Moher! Yes I went on a tour all day yesterday, and made it back without falling or getting blown over the edge. What you all should of been more concerned with is how I didn't die from the hour long Irish folk music during the bus ride. What a killer that was. The rest of the tour went well, it lasted around 12 hours and I got to see a few castles and the Burren (limestone rock formation stretching 320km and is definitely more brilliant than it sounds). Be alarmed I did just use the term 'brilliant' the Irish are rubbing off on me more than I thought.
Now today, today I got a real education. I woke up early, showered, and got ready for my big class at the Guinness Storehouse. I got to learn all about how the famous Dublin beer gets made and all the tricks and traditions of the 250 year old beer. The day just got better and better because after the six floors of self guiding touring, I got to enjoy a nice complimentary pint with spectacular 360 degree views of Dublin city. Definitely worth the 14 euros!
Well I better be off, it is my second last night in Dublin and I need to go out at least ONCE! One of my room mates is taking me out. To any of my parents who may be reading this, do no worry she lives in Ireland and knows her way around!

Day 2
Arrived in Dublin, Ireland! The trip was fine minus border control in UK. Yes I technically got denied access into the country for a few moments. The border patrol asked me how long my trip would be. Being 4am Toronto time I answered 3-4 months. Of course she was meaning how long in Ireland, and because you can not stay longer than 90 days without a visa they denied me into the country!(Calm down Mom, keep reading) After a brief moment of freaking out she continued to ask me questions including how much money I have in each bank account, where I was going to school, and if I was employed etc. After she talked with her manager they decided I was harmless and let me continue on to catch my Dublin flight. SCARY! On the plus it gave me something to blog for the first day!
After that everything went well. I caught some more sleep on the next flight and made sure to answer all questions properly upon entering Dublin.
I am all checked into my Hostel and for the next few days I will be searching for my husband just like how Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler met in the movie 'P.S I love you'. Wish me Luck!!!
