We began the day by taking a scenic drive from Galway to Dublin, and stopping for coffee on the way there. Then, we drove through Phoenix Park, which was home to a lot of monuments and deer.
We learned all about the history of the city, and saw lots of cool buildings. However, the real highlight of the day was the book of Kells experience at Trinity college. We got to see the book itself, which had gorgeous artwork and calligraphy, as well as the long room library, which was truly incredible. Unfortunately, a lot of the books in the long room were being restored, so the shelves weren’t totally full.
After seeing the book of Kells, we went to dinner down the street at an adorable pub with great food.
It’s so sad that this trip is coming to an end, because this week has been one of the best in my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better group to travel, eat, learn, laugh, and write with.
Has been so much fun following your blog and your adventure. Thanks for sharing!
