All my life, I have had this romantic vision of Ireland: it would be charming but not kitschy, clean but not pristine, rainy but not torrential, old but not deteriorating. I don't want to be melodramatic or mislead you, but for me, all of my dreams came true. I am in love with Dublin, Ireland, even though my time there was entirely too short. Dublin was the last city that I visited while on my two week travel break, and despite all my best efforts to stay well-rested and energetic, we were all dragging when we arrived in Ireland.
I honestly don't know what to write about the city. I'll just show you what I loved most.

I love the colorful doors on an otherwise boring brick building. Also, blue is so much more original than red!
