Arriving in Dublin

After a 3 hour delay on top of a 4 hour layover at O'Hare Airport, we're finally in Dublin!! It seemed like we would never get here. Unfortunately, I didn't get much sleep on the plane even after  drugging myself up on sleep meds. Then, my mom tried her hand at driving on the opposite side of the road.  Needless to say, it didn't work out well.   She drove into oncoming traffic, almost hit a biker, and knicked one of the rearview mirrors, whoops! Finally, we get to our hotel and we
had to take a nap.  When we woke up, we went to have dinner at Henrey on the Green's. The food was a little different than in the States (as they call us). Then, we went on a Dublin Ghostbus tour.  They told us a lot of cool stories and showed us some cool places but after talking to locals idk if the tales were made up or not.  Tonight, my brother and I were hesitant to stay in the small pub next to our hotel.  However, as we were leaving a Scottish, Irish, and American woman (sounds like the start of a bad joke), insisted that we stay at that pub (gastropub).  We decided we would stay.  Next thing we knew they were buying all our drinks and teaching us all about Irish history. Turns out the reason Dublin has so many colorful doors is because drunk Irish men would get lost and couldn't fid the door to their house. There's a little tid bit you can put in your back pocket. Anyways, the pub closed at midnight but our new friend Shanay took us to a "dodgy", their version of "sketchy", bar. Its name was Flannegin's but it was a lot of fun!! I guess she called it dodgy cause she was older than the other patrons.  While we were there we drank and met an Irish street Cop.  He was very nice and told us about the best places in Ireland.  I'm not gonna lie, I love this place and the people are so nice! Pictures and video to follow!
