Last day in Ireland

semi-overcast -17 °C

Last night, after our long nap we ate some dinner and went have a last cider at the Turk's Head Bar. We hung out with the rugby boys and went to sleep fairly early so we could wake up for mass. We went to the 11 15 mass at the Anglican St. Patrick's Cathedral. It was beautiful. The stained glass, the history and everything was beautiful. Unfortunately, mass on campus isn't quite the same. We took a few pictures and headed back towards the hostel for a bagel at bagel haven which became our new favorite place. Bagel sandwiches with brie are amazing by the way. After a nice lunch with the girls we hung out for a little with the rugby boys before they left then changed into our rugged gear to take our cliff hike. Our hike was in Howth which was about a 20 minute walk and 20 minute train ride. It was like a cute little fishing town by the Irish Sea. There were plenty of sail boats and even some wave runners enjoying the weather...which by the way we have had AMAZING weather that none of us expected since when we would look it up said we would have rain each day. Anyways, as we walked up the side of the mountain, we managed to find a path that we thought would bring us to the main trail but we got to walk to stickers and thorns for about a half mile. It was worth it though because we got pictures others probably didnt' see on the real trail. We continued on for about 3 miles and had the most amazing views I've ever seen in my life. It was beautiful and kinda thrilling to be on the edge of a cliff. I have plenty pictures that will be in my photobucket album but they just don't quite do it justice. It was amazing and I'm quite happy I took the chance to check out the cliff walk. Now for tonight, we are doing laundry repacking and preparing ourselves to say goodbye to Dublin. It will be hard to top our time here in Dublin, but I'm ready to see what's in store!! Tomorrow we will be up by 5 and on our way to the airport by 510 to fly into Glascow!! Keep checking this out and make sure you check out the pictures on photobucket ( photobucket.com/chelsea_gomez_europe08 )....as the locals say, Cheers!
