Hi Everyone! It's been a wonderful second day in Ireland. It started out really rainy, which I guess is no surprise, but apparently it was extra rainy as my bed and breakfast host said , "This is terrible weather, even for Ireland standards!" It was the kind of day where you just want to cozy up in bed and read...but...I can't do that because I'm in IRELAND!!! So...on went the rain jacket, jeans, and umbrella and off I went into the soggy Ireland morning.

I spent a good while wandering around the area known as "Temple Bar". There are lots of cute shops and restaurants. As I was walking around, I was excited to spot a Friends Meeting House. I tried to go inside to have some silence but the door was locked. : (
I have become quite interested in the doors of Dublin. For some reason (though everyone I ask doesn't really know), many of the doors are different colors. You all know I love colorful things and these doors were no exception. After lunch, I went on a door hunt to find as many different colors as possible. Check out some of the ones I found! These are all "Georgian Doors" which have two columns, a half circle on top, and the windows above it in the house decrease in size. I love them!
Dublin is a great city. There are lots of people out and about, but it doesn't feel crowded at all. Unlike many cities I have been to, there are hardly any buildings taller than 5 stories, which keeps an airy and open feeling in the city. Everyone has been extremely nice and helpful!
Tomorrow I am going on a hike in the Wicklow mountains! I hope it doesn't rain!
Toodle-loo for now!
Math Challenge - I found lots of colorful doors in Dublin. Today I saw - 9 red doors, 5 blue doors, 8 black doors, and 2 yellow doors. How many doors did I see in all?
