Dublin: Part 1

Dublin, to say the least, has been a whirlwind. Miles upon miles of walking (I come back to the dorm every night and try to rub the demons out of my feet, but to no avail), and lots of time simply wandering and exploring the city. What could be better? Not much, in my opinion. We have had lots of time to meander on our own, but on the first day, we visited sites all together, which focused on the famine. These few photos include first stop, which was the famine memorial, located on the River Liffey. The last photo is on board the ship, a replica of the Jeanie Johnston, the only ship to never lose a passenger ever during its sixteen voyages, an amazing feat when one considers the conditions and records of other ships during that time period.

I know this is a short post, but there is more to come!
