This week, <<First Name>>, we're going to Dublin!
I've said it before, but I'll say it again... "While Germany holds my heart and mind, my spirit soars when I travel to England, Scotland, and Ireland! These are my kind of people, and they have my kind of culture." And, that's not just because of the Guinness and Jameson! (Though, they definitely help.)
I'm a history buff and Dublin has its share, but what Dublin really has is great Crack! ("Craic" as it's spelled in Gaelic, is a term for news, gossip, fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation, particularly prominent in Ireland.) There's nothing like going to an Irish Pub, sitting at the bar, ordering a pint, and having your ear talked off by an old, local Irishman, while traditional Irish folk music is being played live just a few steps from you. "Céad míle fáilte!" ("a hundred thousand welcomes!")
Watch this 8-minute video. It really brings Dublin to life!
