Ireland was cold, rainy, and windy. The landscape was beautiful, and the people were the friendliest I had yet encountered in Europe. The Guinness museum was a bizzarre experience. Very old and classic, and very high tech and techno at times. I must say it's the fastest Guiness pour I've ever experienced. The top floor is a full 360 degree panoramic view of Dublin. I've never seen people so passionate about football. About 90% of Dublin was drunk and boisterous. I was staying a few miles south of Dublin and was a bit nervous about being on the road. I had my only theft of my whole trip in Dublin. Somebody stole a bungie cord while I was in the Guinness museum. Not bad for a 4 month trip.
