Guinness

We actually started out our first day in Dublin by visiting St. Patrick's Cathedral. I didn't go in, but it was pretty sweet. We just kinda chilled in the front lawn and relaxed. Strangely enough, there was actually a Tim Horton's across the street. Weird, huh?After the Cathedral we went to the Guinness factory. It was awesome. There were seven different levels, and it took you through the process of how they make Guinness. It was cool being able to go through and learn a little bit. The center of the building was designed to look like a giant pint, so the entire time you're climbing through a pint of guinness. There were various floors that had various information- how to make it, how to store it, how to transport it, how the building was founded (original lease of 9000 years. wow) and finally, on the top floor, there was a bar that served each person who went through the tour one glass of guinness (or other drink). The bar, being on the top floor, had walls of glass, giving you a view of the entire city of Dublin (not that there's much to look at).
This is the view from the seventh floor bar.

After the guinness factory, we got some dinner (at a pub of course. Where else is there to eat in Dublin?) and then went on a pub crawl. They took us around and showed us different pubs to go to. I went to three out of four of them, but after having three hours of sleep and then a twenty hour day, I could barely stand on my feet, so I went back to the hostel to go to sleep.
