Beer: the most important thing to the Irish.

This is a shot of the Guiness Storehouse. The brewery takes up a huge part of Dublin, and produces over a million pints a day. We toured the storehouse which was very interesting and it was amazing to see how identified Ireland is with their Guiness. It was impressive how large the brewery was and how much of the city was taken up by the buildings. We walked to the storehouse and saw the city on the way. Dublin wasn't impressive, the city was fine, but the people were very unfriendly. It was our least favorite place on our whole trip. I wish we could have seen the countryside of Ireland but we spent the only time we had in Ireland in Dublin. The best part about the city was the very friendly bus drivers, the bed and breakfast we stayed at which was old and massive and the best Italian restaurant we have ever eaten at. It was so fantastic. We ate there both nights we were in Dublin, because we just couldn't face one more meal of mushy peas and fish and chips. Ireland felt depressing and sad. The architecture was dark and ominous and the people seem unhappy. It was a beautiful place but hopefully one day we'll see other parts of Ireland that will bring a different energy.
