Guinness Storehouse, Dublin
We also met Christian and Rose (love them) from California at the Guinness Storehouse. Here’s a blurry photo of us heading into the Storehouse together after I needed to inquire about Christian’s sweater, which proudly bears the image of a kitten. That is an awesome sweater.
This is the water display — an ode to the importance of the water source, the Wicklow Mountains.
One of their most recognizable ad campaigns.
Here’s the brewing process for inquiring minds.
There was a huge wall of casks from the display about the coopers (cask makers).
Serving up the good stuff in Gravity Bar
Hanging out in the Gravity bar with a 360 view of Dublin
Details were not spared in this building. This is a small piece of an enormous bronze sculpture that is part of the transportation display.
The tasting room was full of white mist coming from several different barrels each representing different flavor notes in the Guinness. It was rad.
The building is full of little moments like this one. <3
Diego’s perfect pint
Heading toward the Storehouse…even the approach is cool.
Heading up to the top floor to take in the views from Gravity Bar.
This is a more different piece of an enormous bronze sculpture that is part of the transportation display.
The glass walls of the gravity bar are very cool and also a little unnerving.

Yum!
Another view of the Ha’penny Bridge

The bakeries were mouth watering.
Courtyard of Trinity College
Artichokes flower!!! Mind blown.
Diego’s favorite shop of the day.
Christ Church Cathedral
Love locks on the Ha’penny Bridge. Fun fact, the city has to remove these from time to time due to the maintenance issues the little rust producers cause. The last removal weighed in at 300KG/661LBS!
A chill afternoon in the courtyard of Trinity College
Elmira, New York!
THE Temple Bar
Cool bronze casts of Viking artifacts set into sidewalk pavers throughout the city give a nod to the city’s Nordic roots.
John’s Lane Cathedral
A bird with tude and a rainbow
Cool details abound in the city…this is the base of a street light. St. Patrick’s cathedral is peeking out in the background.

Cork’s English Market is like a farmer’s market on steroids. It has been around since 1788, it’s in the center of the city, and it’s chock full of family businesses. It is absolutely darling in every respect.
