Day 3 – Leaving Dublin, hello Wicklow Mountains!

It’s 9:30 am and we are justing checking our email before we head out to pick up our car. I’m anxious to see what kind of make and model we get. There are so many awesome cars out here! Sara is oblivious to all of it. Citroen, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and a million more. Awesome little cars, I can’t wait!

The National Library of Ireland open at 9:30 so we are going to try to find a parking spot nearby first before we head out of town. It wasn’t open on the weekend so we couldn’t check it out even though we had walked past it several times. It holds the single most important collection of Irish documentary heritage in the world.

Heading out!

UPDATE 10:53PM
We made it to our B&B. What we learned today…. it’s okay to get lost, roundabouts are only a little bit scary, gasoline is “petrol” and they only have 95 octane(which smells really good when spilled onto your shoe), Ireland is very old but beautiful!!!

We drove south through the Wicklow mountains. Visited Powerscourt gardens and Glendalough Monastic city. Both very very old. I’m tired so here are some photos.
