How it feels to drink Guinness all day long

It wasn't an impulsive trip; but it surely felt like one.

We were planning to go to Ireland since this January but due to an unfortunate circumstance, it was only two weeks before the departure date that we could buy the ticket. Falling asleep the night before was as hard as getting up in the morning of our trip. Putting on another thick layer of clothes, we were ready for the infamous Irish weather. But the sun was shining when we stepped out of the airport and the sunglasses were taken out from their boxes. The jolly bus driver with a funny accent drove us to the city center, dropping us off near Trinity College. The sky was blue, the locals were friendly, the sun was warm, and even the loud American tourists seemed good-hearted. What can I say, it was almost perfect. 

After unloading our heavy backpacks at the youth hostel we were staying at, we went to an excellent restaurant to satisfy our grumbling stomach. The shrimp sandwich with coriander sauce was absolutely delicious and soon we were out on the streets again. Next stop was, not surprisingly, Trinity College. We walked around the beautiful garden, pretending to be students moving from a building to another. Despite the huge number of tourists, we could still glimpse a bit of calming charm in the back yard. Needless to say, the old library made me speechless. All I could do to embrace its beauty was to take lots of pictures to be able to look at it and keep it close to my heart.

The highlight, of course, was pubs. I got to drink my favorite beer regardless of the time. We drank a pint at each pub - or two pints if we loved the atmosphere - and moved on to the next one. This continued from late afternoon until the streets were lit with lights and smiles of drunk people (I should confess, we were not far from being one of them).  

The next day, our muscles aching from very little, uncomfortable sleep, we got on a bus to Galway. We only had two days to spend in Galway so going around the coast for sightseeing was not an option. The only choice we had left was, well, I'm sure you must have guessed by now, pubs. When you have a question, the answer to it should most likely be "pubs" or found in pubs. We continued our frenzy search of great beer and air, and never once were we disappointed. 

So how did it feel to drink Guinness all day long? It simply was unforgettably and undoubtedly fantastic!
