The Start of Visitors

Just after returning from my week trip back to California, I got an email from an old college friend of mine, Alex. He had just recently started a year's backpacking trip throughout Europe and Asia, and he was looking to come by Ireland for a brief visit. So, I got my first visit from a friend back home when Alex came to Dublin for a few days. Poor guy had to sleep on the small bit of carpet space in our dorm 'kitchen' area though - the downside to being in a dorm: visitors. He put up with it nicely though and it was fun to see a familiar face!

While visiting, my friend Kelly's sister was also in town, so the 4 of us went to the Guinness Storehouse for a bit of touristy fun. It was my first time too (but definitely not the last). Here are some photos:

After the Guinness Storehouse and some dinner, we paid a visit to Kehoe's for a night drink
