The Dublin Excursion

This past week was midterms, so to celebrate about 50 students from my class decided to go to Dublin (mainly because it's the cheapest place to get to, and only takes and hour by plane!) It was a gorgeous weekend, the weather was amazing the entire time, which of course is a rarity in this part of the world. Within my small group we saw the Guinness storehouse, the oldest pub in Dublin (Braven), Temple Bar (which is an area in Dublin as well as a famous bar), a local pub (sans tourist), a tour of the city and the Cliffs! All were amazing and if I could I would post all 200+ pictures that I took, but I'll try to give you a little taste!


This is at the cliffs looking off onto the Irish Sea, well at least we think it was the Irish Sea. This was a quick side trip that we decided to take just hours before our plane left, so we didn't have very much time here, but it was still very beautiful!
This is apparently the most photographic door in Dublin(says the tour bus), so I took a picture of it, I don't really know any more than that. However, there was a professional photographer outside of it taking photos when we drove by, and it is a pretty door.

Dublin has some extremely old and exquisite building, this is just one of them that I really like.


The girls...pre-boarding our flight to Dublin, you can tell we are all really excited to be going!
We all had an amazing time, and it was really nice to get away from Newcastle and classes!

Back in Newcastle this morning I learned that the best way to get laundry done is to wake up at 5:30 in the morning because there are 150 of us and 2 washing machines. I got 4 loads done before 8AM, I felt so productive and then I passed out for 2 hours before class.

I'm really having a great time in Newcastle and loving the experience of being in medical school!
