Hi everyone my name is Brady Penet and I am a sophomore sport management major. I will be taking you through our day 4 in Ireland! Today is our “free day” where there is a hop on hop off bus that we are able to use to explore the city of Dublin.
I started off the day with an amazing Irish breakfast and then a lot of us headed over into the city to the Guinness Storehouse factory. We enjoyed an amazing self guided walking tour and were able to learn about the history of Guinness, its significance to Ireland, and how it is produced. I will share some pictures below! We also stopped for a quick lunch at the Storehouse and were able to relax for a minute after the tour.
After the tour we took a bus into the city center to Trinity College where we walked around the college and did the Book of Kells Experience. It was incredible to walk around such a historic college and learn about the Book of Kells. One of the most memorable parts from this was learning how each page of the book is only shown for about 6-8 weeks and then not shown again for about 10 years. Another fun fact is how the book has survived for over 1200 years. We then took a walk around the city to explore and stopped at a couple of stores for some souvenir shopping before taking the tram back to the hotel.
We ended off the day with an amazing group dinner at a restaurant called Oscar’s right outside our hotel. I got a chicken sandwich and tried brown sauce for the first time. I am still not exactly sure what it was. We then went for a walk through the city and got some amazing gelato. I got this really good flavor called toffee cake. It was an amazing day in Ireland. I will provide some pictures of my day below!
