I’m participating in Classy in Philadelphia’s Where In The World Wednesday! The idea of WITWW is to post a picture of you someplace in the world…it doesn’t have to be somewhere foreign or tropical. Just a picture of you somewhere you consider traveling.
During their Spring break, Bryce and my sister Jenny visited Lisa and I when we studied abroad in Cork, Ireland. We took a trip up to Dublin where we obviously went to the Guinness Factory, but we also set out on another journey.
Our grandfather lived right across the street from that gate. With his address in hand, we walked up and down more times than I can count in search for his old apartment. But, in the end we couldn’t find it! When I came home that summer I tried to explain what I saw as I walked up and down the street to my auntie Bridge (Bridget). She said there is a good chance the numbers have been changed, which may be why we couldn’t pinpoint it.
It was sad and frustrating to think that we were so close, in fact, right in front of their home and didn’t even know it, but I guess it’s just another reason to go back. At least Jenny and I got to take a photo in front a view that they could once see through their window.
awww! I’m dying to go to Dublin, hubs studied abroad over there in college and is itching to take me, once we have a bit more bling, that’ll definitely be one of the first places we go to!
Dublin has an extra special place in my heart. It’s where my boyfriend and I first got together.
Dublin is a lovely city! I enjoyed it.
Ahhh, Dublin! We loved this city on our honeymoon. And of course, the Guinness Storehouse.
while i had fun in dublin, i wasn’t a big fan of it. not a place i recommend to people when they go to ireland.
but i love the story with your grandfather, that is so awesome!
Great city, I loved it there.
ALWAYS great to have a reason to return somewhere you love.
Whoa, sorry I didn’t visit last week. Bad week for me. I want to go to Dublin so bad because of you!
