Ghana, Guinness, and More

The Latest from Ireland 2008


Dublin had not panned out the way I expected at all. Although I could have thrown a stone and hit Trinity College from our hotel, we never actually set foot on campus or even took any pictures from the outside.  We didn't see St. Stephen's Green or visit the President's house, as my brother did on his previous visit.  We took in the city with a local, as locals (drunks) might, which is the way I prefer to travel, as you know.  But as a tourist, I felt a little, well, like a failure.   I travelled all this way, there was one thing I was not going to miss for all the beer in Ireland: a visit to the Guinness Storehouse.  

I could ramble on all about the tour, the factory, the brewing process, etc., but I have a feeling you'd much rather hear about a valuable lesson I learned and how I nearly shit my pants.







And Don't Miss Meghan's Latest Update,  Four Days To Go, about her humanitarian aid trip to Ghana.
