Ireland: Part 3

After a week on the coast in Kinsale we headed north to Dublin. Our German friends, Steffi and Guido, were able to join us for this leg of the trip. It is always nice to spend time with them... Once we arrived we immediately headed out to check out the city.

That evening we were able to meet up with Glen's cousin Lizzie and her family who live just outside of Dublin. We had a fabulous dinner in their garden.

I loved this old Castle that is being turned into a resort. The trees were square shaped. It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland.
