This is about my first trip to my favorite place, Ireland . . . It is also about my study abroad experience, which I will be starting next semester in September. I want to share my experience because Ireland and travel is so important to me.

Hartcourt Hotel

Hotel

This hotel was really nice. The rooms were gorgeous. We stayed in the Eliza Doolittle Suite!

It had the best location, just around the corner from Grafton Street! In fact, on my way back from Grafton Street to Hartcourt Street, I got asked directions twice! I was very excited and felt at home in the Irish culture . . .

The Temple Bar

Activity

The Temple Bar was great! Yes, there is actually a place called the Temple Bar, not just the region. Live music is played there daily (traditonal music) and I definitely recommend stopping in when in Dublin.

The people are very friendly. In fact, my friend and I started chatting it up with an Irishman who lived in California for a bit! I even got my picture taken with him!
