What an exciting day we had today! Dublin has buses that you can purchase a ticket for and it takes you to all of the major stops in Dublin. We decided to jump on the bus in the morning and make stops at Trinity College, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the Guiness Factory.
At Trinity College we were able to first take a tour of some of the campus. It was so interesting to note the difference between Mercyhurst to a school like that. Only students with honors are allowed to live on campus and they serve beer to those students with dinner! After the tour, we waited in line to see the Book of Kells which was located in the library. The Book of Kells are handwritten gospels. It was beautiful.

Next, we went to St. Patrick’s Cathedral. When we walked in we heard the last part of their choir practice. The singing was just as beautiful as the Cathedral itself. After some observation, we noticed that it was not a Catholic church. All religions are able to practice in this sacred space.

Last but not least was the Guinness factory. I have been there once before with my family, but this was a place I did not mind stopping at again! At the Guinness factory, we were able to roam around ourselves which ended us up at the top of the building for our complimentary pint. After that, we headed back out for dinner!
Tonight I am so excited that we will be meeting up with Killian Bowe. He is also a Senior at Mercyhurst and is home in Dublin for a couple weeks. It really is a small world!
Sláinte!
