Dublin in 2 Days

So I had something posted about our weekend in Dublin and then reread it a day later and decided to un-post it. It's kind of strange to try to write about my life and put it up there for anyone to read, as anyone else who has a blog will probably attest too. You want to find the right tone for each entry and often, after rereading it through the eyes of various people, think it sounds inauthentic or dull or wordy or just plain dumb. Usually I just post it anyways and don't care so much, but this last one bothered me enough to yank it.
Anyways, Dublin was mostly a blast (can something even be mostly a blast? See, that's what I mean). Our good friend Mika, who lives there, welcomed us upon arrival and spent the weekend taking us around the city, treating us to fantastic meals and giving us all places to sleep in her apartment. We spent a lot of time walking around, popping into various pubs and famous places like Trinity College, the Jameson Distillery and the Guinness Brewery, though we opted not to actually go into these last two due to the crowds and long lines.
But Dublin's famous pubs really live up to their reputation in my opinion - they're old and cozy and the patrons and bartenders are very friendly, a bit of a change from Prague's pub scene where people are more distant and subdued. Though a large part of this is probably due to the language barrier, and in Prague people bring their dogs right into the pubs, which is really nice.
