Photo Sunday: Hugging an Irish Statue

When I went to Northern Ireland my friends from there and I looked up some local places to see. One that came up was these old statues. From the description they sounded cool and easy to find.

Cool, yes.
Easy to find? No.

This supposed tourist spot ended up being down a dirt road and in a graveyard. Of course it was raining too, so the whole thing was quite creepy. After going through all the work of finding these strange statues, I had to hug one.

So here is me, hugging an old statue, in a graveyard, in the rain.

Oh Northern Ireland.

Have you ever gone to somewhere on a tourist brochure and ended up in a tiny old graveyard? Have you hugged a strange statue? Hit me up!

Photo Sunday: Charming Dublin

I decided to start a Photo Sunday. Since I rarely do anything productive on Sundays anyway, may as well make use of the time to show off some of my photos.

This photo comes to you from Dublin, Ireland.

Normally I am not overly found of cities. I hate traffic and I am not great about crowds. So even though I adore Dublin, I doubt I would ever live there. If I had to live a city though, Dublin is high on the list.

The architecture around the city is gorgeous, the people are friendly, and there are so many wonderful cafes and pubs.

Ireland is one of those places that just keeps calling me back, so I'm sure I will be returning to Dublin eventually.

Have you ever been to Dublin? What did you think of the cute Irish city? Were you as charmed as I was?

Magical Northern Ireland

I feel like Ireland is one of those places that everyone and their mother has been too.

This is not true of Northern Ireland.

While everyone wants to visit the rolling green hills of Ireland, no one seems to want to visit the neighbor to the north. I am here to inspire you to give Northern Ireland a chance. You'll love it!
