Dun Da Da Dun... Ireland part 2

Yay it finally worked:) Here are a few more photos of our lovely visit to Ireland.

The gardens across from the Dublin Castle through a beautiful gate


The temple bar district. A visit to Dublin wouldn't be complete without it.

My future Irish cottage:D

Isn't it beautiful!! Of course it was in the middle of a city park which could present a problem...but I guess we will cross that bridge when we come to it... I wonder if Huwe's could do Ireland???

I really have been trying...

Don't think that I have been forgetting about you. I have tried and tried and blogger won't let me upload any photos... I don't know what the problem is. I have never had troubles before. I will keep trying to get them uploaded.

Anyways, Rob and I had a great time on our vacation!! We highly recommend Ireland to anyone who is interested in going:) I was sad to see vacation end, but getting back into the swing of school has been good. We are reading a really interesting book in one of my classes. Its called "Sin Noticias de Gurb." It is about two aliens who land in Barcelona. The one goes off to explore and doesn't come back. The other alien goes to look for him. It is actually really funny. I am only done with the first few chapters, but I can't wait to read more:) We are also enjoying absolutly gorgeous weather here!! Four days of perfection and counting. Speaking of which, I think I am going to go for a little walk. So I hope you all are having a good week:) Hasta luego!!

God's gift to Europeans...Napolitanas

The longer that I stay here, the more convinced I become that no one does chocolate like Europeans... And if I might add, I don't think anyone eats as much chocolate as europeans either. I have never seen so many chocolate shops in my life! It is everywhere! Half of the items at the bakery are covered or stuffed with it. Exhibit A:

Napolitanas

One of God's most magnificent creations. Oh so yummy pastry dough stuffed with to die for chocolate filling... They go so fast from the bakery that you are pretty much assured to get them still warm... And here I thought I was going to lose weight from all this walking... Yeah right!
