Hello everyone! It’s Nicolas, and I’ll be sharing a recap of our second day on the Falk Sports and Culture in Ireland Trip!
Our day started bright and early as we landed in Dublin around 9:00 AM after an overnight flight from JFK. Although I got no sleep, I had a great time playing games on the tablet with some friends. Once we arrived, we hopped on a bus and headed straight to Trinity College for a guided historical walking tour of Dublin. The tour lasted about an hour and a half, giving us the chance to see some incredible landmarks while learning about Ireland’s rich history. Afterward, a few of us grabbed some shawarma from a small local restaurant, it was my first time trying it, and I’d give it a solid 8.5/10!
Next, we made our way to Croke Park for a guided tour and a visit to the Gaelic Sports Museum. Over the course of two hours, we explored the stadium and learned about Gaelic football and hurling, which are overseen by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). It was fascinating to see how Gaelic sports prioritize passion and cultural heritage over commercial gain. After wrapping up at Croke Park, we checked into our hotel, dropped off our luggage, and took a short walk around the area to explore local food spots and attractions. Later, a few of us went out for dinner, I’m looking forward to trying some authentic Irish food and local drinks in the days ahead!
