Yay Ireland

Just got into Dublin today. I am temporarily changing my favourite colour to Green. There is alot of Green here.

Also had my first Irish Guiness - of course. And yes it does taste different. You can taste more of the malt - ie the taste is of the malted barley - how it tastes before you ferment it. People say that it tastes different depending on the distance from Ireland... Which I guess I agree with. Guiness in England tastes more bitter to me. Guiness in Ireland tastes more malty to me. Guiness in Canada tastes more smooth to me. Tomorrow I should be going to the brewery/museum to have one there.

Going to have a Guiness at the brewery is my only real goal for Ireland/Dublin. I bought a book though so I will see a couple other things before flying back to London on Wednesday.

BTW, I missed my flight this morning to Ireland. I am getting good at moving through the underground - but made a couple mistakes and did not leave early enough... doh! I got there 30 minutes before - but they had closed the checkin. Cost me an extra 40 pounds to fly this afternoon.

So far I have had one guiness.

It cost 4.50 euro. About 7.00 CDN
Plane cost 120 pounds (return) about 240 CDN

So my beer cost $247 dollars...I will need to do some 'averaging down' over the next couple days :)
