We went to Ireland in November, for my birthday, but I haven't posted about it. We left the day after Election Day and before the plane left the ground, it was clear that we were entering a dark period in U.S. history. One in which so many Americans had chosen to openly and proudly embrace bigotry.
It's hard to separate that from the trip, just given the timing. Even so, we had an amazing time. St. Patrick's Day seems like a good time to finally share some photos. We spent a few days in Dublin, took the train to Cork (the O'Keefes originate in County Cork), and then back to Dublin for a couple more.
We hit some landmarks (including St. Patrick's Cathedral, Guinness, Jameson, and Blarney Castle), but spent a lot of time wandering around, and enjoying all sorts of drinks and food. It was my first time in Ireland, and I loved it. I look forward to going back.
