Headed off to Dublin on Friday from London's Stansted airport, which is actually over an hour away from central London. After running through Stansted to make our flight, we arrived in Dublin around 6.30pm and took a bus in to central Dublin. After checking into our hostel, we headed out in search of food.

| From Dublin - 9/28 |
Our hostel was right on the River Liffey and just at the edge of the Temple Bar area, so we found a place to eat in no time. I had a nice pasta bolognese while Derek and Kelly got the roast of the day - lamb. I figured Irish food is not quite my thing.
After dinner we kind of walked around the area for a bit and saw some interesting things on the streets, including a guy doing limbo under fire and these two fellows:
We eventually ended up at a pub that a friend of mine who studied in Dublin last spring recommended, the Porter House (thanks, Kelly!). It was quite the place, with three floors of Irish pub goodness and a live musician who is probably the fastest strummer I've ever seen or heard.
We ended up going back to the hostel fairly early since we were pretty exhausted, but it was a great first day in Dublin.
Check out the album here for more pictures, by the way.
