What a difference a day makes....

After 12 hours of sleep we're completely different people, no longer tired and grumpy, suddenly refreshed and ready for adventure. And for the record Jeremy no longer thinks of me as a torturess ^_-

Yesterday the weather was sunny and amazing, today a but gloomy and damp though the sun made several appearances. At one point it was sunny, no clouds overhead and sprinkling, it was the darnedest thing!

We started our day by going to Dublin Castle only to find out this is the one in the years that Dublin is hosting the EU presidency and the castle is closed, BUT the Chester Beatty library was open and it has an amazing collection of illustrated books and literature, ridiculous detail! No photos allowed though.

Then we found the much anticipated Jameson Distillery. Very cool place, having worked for a whiskey company I the past I've seen my share of distillery tours and this was very well done. We enjoyed our first Fish & Chips and even samples the Jameson Distillery 12 yr Reserve, only found at the Distillery in Dublin. I found it to be more vanilla in flavor, Jeremy didn't taste much difference (good to know as it's about $60 US a bottle). Lots more pictures up on Flickr (there's a link to the left).

Now to wander and see what adventures we can find...
