Kill-EYE-(k)ne(e)y

After hours of failed attempts, I figured out how to say (and semi-phonetically spell) Killiney, a small costal town near Dublin. Katie and I took the DART (Ireland's above-ground metro/train system) there today. We walked along the beach and put our feet in the ocean.

After regaining feeling in our toes, we walked through a passageway and uphill for nearly an hour.

It was a shockingly beautiful, sunny day and we got some great views of the coastline.


Also unexpectedly passed by the official South African residence in Ireland.

Once we reached the town we ate at a little -very little- cafe and enjoyed walking down the (singular) street in town. From there, caught the bus to Don Laogharie (sounds like "leery") where we checked out the harbor and found Katie her deeply-coveted hair straightener.
Hoping to visit Cork next week, and London after that!
Oh, so I also actually go to school here. Maybe I'll talk about that next time.

  4. Thanks for checking my blog out tony~! I'll definitely visit your site, how've you been?

    Heyy Ankit, so I tried copy and pasting my html tags here for an example but blogspot rejected it (that's why I deleted my last comment). Try justifiying the first picture left and the second picture right. Don't hit the space bar between tags. It takes some messing around with it too, let me know if that works!
