Wicklow, and Waterford

So much has happened over the last few days I hardly know where to start. In Dublin we did a tour of the Guinness factory where we earned our certificate in being a certified pour master! I can pour a mean pint of Guinness. We also checked out some amazing cathedrals like st. Patrick's and st Catherine's. Thursday the 11th was by far the most challenging day so far but also the most rewarding. We didn't get to sleep until 5am thanks to the hostel party crew. Then we had to get our rental car. We were lost, exhausted, driving on the wrong side of the street and the wrong side of the car. My oh my was it worth it though when we got to the stunning Wicklow mountains. I have only dreamed of places as beautiful as the valleys, lakes, mountains and hillsides that we saw. The sun came out for a little while followed closely by hail. We went to the historical ruins at glendalow. Adam must have really made some spirits angry stepping on their headstones because it rained so hard we were drenched head to toe. At almost 9 pm we pulled into the beautiful city of Waterford (as in Waterford crystal- who knew?) with no place to sleep. We checked into the very high class travel lodge. You know your life is at an all time low when you take an hour long bath at the travel lodge. We must have forgotten the "no flushing toilet paper" rule because when we woke up in the morning the whole place was flooded!!! Haha we made a run for the exit door this morning!
