On our second weekend, we decided to go to Paris. There are not enough words to describe how beautiful this city is. Someone here at the office suggested to take the red bus, so we did, and it is one of the best things we could have done it helped us to see almost everything in two days!! At first, it was a little bit hard to understand how the Metro worked, but once we figured it out, it was very useful.
The first day, we started at the Arc de Triumph and hopped in and out of the red bus. We did almost everything, including enjoying a delicious crepe out on the street sitting on a bench. At night, we decided to taste the gourmet food of France and had a wonderful dinner. After that, we decided to go for a couple of drinks to a club!
The next morning, we had breakfast in a cafe on Champs Elysees. We saw the Louvre and ended with some shopping and dinner.
Monday, we had to go back and just relaxed at the apartment the rest of the day. I don’t think I have ever walked as much as I did that weekend –- I was dead!
On Wednesday, Sarah Downey and I went to the movies and watched an Irish movie called "Intermission". It was a great laugh. After that, she took me to a Mexican restaurant and we had a delicious dinner!
The second weekend has been just breathtaking!! We did "The Ring of Kerry". First, we drove to Killarney, had breakfast, walked around, and took off to Dingle. When we arrived there, we took a little boat for sightseeing and saw Fungie, a bottle-nosed dolphin that lives in the bay -- they say that he has been there for 20 years or even more!! After that, we took the road to Cahersiveen we looked for a B&B, and then went for dinner and a couple of drinks.
In the morning, we took the car and headed to start the journey. The views were amazing. I took lots of pictures and I had goose bumps for the whole trip. We did all of the Ring of Kerry and ended up in Kinsale again. The roads are very nice, but very narrow, so it was a challenge. But we made it safely back home and I can't wait to see what this week will be like!!
