So much Craic on London and Ireland for St. Patty' Day!

Note: "Craic", pronounce "crack", is the Irelander's way of saying of "fun". You can just imagine all the puns that came out of that term.

The View from the Gravity Bar on top of the Guinness Storehouse. The bar has windows all around it, providing a 360 degree view of downtown Dublin

Way back in January when we were planning our trip to London and Ireland, we had no idea how much fun we would be in for. Or how busy we would be. We hardly had any moments of down time, but it was all worth it. And would you like to know the best thing about London and Ireland? They both speak ENGLISH. It was nice to take a break from stumbling our way through travel plans and every day functioning in another language. There are just too many stories and hilarious times from our trip to London and Ireland, so I’m just going to take the easy way out and post a bunch of pictures. Don’t worry; I’ll at least caption them! Enjoy :)
Leaving Sevilla for London!

While we were in London before we left for Dublin, we went a pub crawl that was recommended by our hostel. We went to a bunch of different bars in the Camden area of London.

I was so happy to find this balloon!


A classic jig-off. I think it's safe to say that Scott lost this round.






Even the police men in Dublin enjoy a beer (or two) on St. Patrick's Day


I wanted to hug one...

I'm a professional Guinness Pourer now! I have a certificate and everything.

Scariest ride ever. I can't believe some of our friends were actually brave enough to go on it. I was the official photographer, safe on the ground

 We went back to London after our 3 days in Ireland and spent the day being tourists before we headed back to Sevilla.

So London
