Hello,

This is Ryan Hayes checking in. Yesterday, May 29th, we woke up and left Cork and traveled to Dublin. Due to the fact that the bus ride was an estimated four hours, we decided to stop in a small village called Birr. Upon arriving in Birr, we were given two hours to explore. At first, Birr seemed like a typical Irish village with a friendly atmosphere filled with small shops and pubs. However, Birr contained a historical medieval castle. Fascinated by the idea of medieval castle, we searched inside and were captivated with its history and incredible structure. After a short time in Birr, we boarded back on the bus and were on our way to Dublin.

Once we arrived in Dublin, we were given a short time before dinner to walk around and explore our surroundings. We soon realized that Dublin was by far the largest city we had seen in Ireland. It's bridges and buildings were uniquely built and truly an astounding sight. To conclude our evening, we had dinner at the Thunderroad Cafe in Dublin. This restaurant offered a wide variety of food, all of which was delicious. Overall, our day was filled with adventure and experience and was especially a great way for me to celebrate my 21st birthday!

Thanks for all the support.
Ryan
