Florence, Italy!!!

Florence was beautiful, but nothing compared to Barcelona. It was probably half the size of San Francisco. This was my first trip to Italy and I expected to see many Italians, but Florence is full of tourists and barely any Italians. Here are some pictures to give you a quick idea of my trip.

Dublin, Ireland!!!

Hey people! Sorry I’ve taken a blog break, but I’m back now… Ive been doing a lot of traveling lately. From Dublin on one weekend to Florence the next, have kept me pretty busy. Dublin reminded me of my prep school days in Boston. Just like it, except the people were way nicer. It seemed like everyone gets out of their way to make your life easier. Here are some pics from Dublin.

This is Peters Pub & Snug. It was right across the street from my hotel. When I went inside I asked the bartender what the “snug” was, he replied by saying, “Snug as a bug in a rug.” This is where I tried my first official Guinness. I thought it was nothing special, but for some reason it’s a popular favorite in Ireland.
