It was our last day in Ireland, so what do we decide to do? Go to the Jameson Factory to become even more educated on alcohol/whiskey and drink some more. I mean were in Ireland, right? Because we volunteered during the tour, we got to be taste testers of three different types of whiskey. Downside: I HATE whiskey. However, I sucked it up and tried the three whiskeys; Ireland's Jameson Whiskey, Scotland Whiskey, and of course American Whiskey, Jack Daniels. Jameson is the the smoothest whiskey to take down because it is distilled three times. Scotland's is only distilled twice, and Jack Daniels, only once which is why it has such an awful strong taste that seriously took me twenty four hours to get out of my mouth. Upside: at the end we all got certificates that made us official whiskey test tasters in Ireland :)

After being "those people" who continue to stay and loligag and then get kicked out eventually, we walked around the city of Dublin and went to the oldest bar in Ireland, not sure if it was after 5 yet..... One of the boys we met had actually been studying there since September so he was able to show us all the historical sites,castles,and churches. This boy was Asian, and because he had been in Dublin for quite some time now he had picked up an Irish accent; not something you see everyday.

| The Dublin Castle still has it's historic part of the castle, but half of it is reconstructed with modern architecture and this is the modern part of it. |

That night was our last night sleeping in Dublin and we had to be up at 4 in the morning to catch our flight. Ireland was amazing, even if it never took a break from raining, but I was ready to go back to my temporary home in Granada, Spain and sleep in my own clean bed <3
