Dublin

So yea Dublin best city yet! As you can see on http://picasaweb.google.com/Giovanni.Gaccione/ there is a new album with photos of me at Dublin. It was so cool.

Our journey begins at 2:00 am Saturday morning. We bus over to the airport and fly over to Dublin on a 0.01 cent flight. We land and it is beautiful. It has the same feeling Hoboken has (streets are a bit wider in Dublin) you know a bar ever 10 feet. We make it over to the "GUINNESS FACTORY"! Which by the way was the best museum tour I have ever had. As you can see in the pictures they walked us through the steps of making Guinness from how the hops are picked and how they are mixed together. I also got to start batch 2316!!!! Yes that is right I got to start a batch of Guinness about 300,000 pints of Guinness to be drank in 10 days from pressing that button. I posted the video. As we continued out tour of the facility we look a the history of Guinness and the technological advances that they made over the years. It was very interesting. I forgot to mention that as we progressed on the tour we kept going higher and higher in the building. Till the very end which is called the Gravity Bar. It is a bar at the top of the building that oversees all Dublin! Thats right a 360 degree glass bar with a complimentary pint of Guinness. IT WAS AMAZING!!!

We then went to the Jameson Distillery. It was ok we didn't go in to it, but it looked nice from the outside. lol. We spent the rest of the night in the Temple Bar area. This is where everyone hangs out at night a bunch of pub/bars. And who would have guessed it but the weekend Brian and I went there was a giant rugby game (Ireland vs Italy). Because of the game there were tons of Italians that weekend so many that I thought I was in Italy. BTW Italy won!!

Sunday we spent at Trinity College and looking at the book of Kells. That night was the super bowl. So we watched it at one of the local bars which stayed open till the end of the game. All americans it was crazy. LOL

Like I said before it was a great trip!!! Hope everyone is well. My next trip is Skiing the Alps in Trentino, Italy.

CHEERS!!!
