2009 • Dublin
March 20, 2009 to March 21, 2009
For the Spring semester of 2009, I had the opportunity to study abroad in England and as a group, we decided to spend a weekend in Dublin shortly after arriving. Being that we were only traveling from London, it was an easy trip to take to hope over to Ireland. I spent most of my time within Dublin itself (I would visit the Irish countryside later on in the semester), taking in the sites and enjoying the capital of the Irish Republic. Of course, there was a bit of a disaster on the camera front: I left my camera back in Oxford! That is partially why the quality of these pictures are not as high as others from the very same semester abroad—I was forced to use a disposable camera! That said, Dublin is an extremely interesting city with a long and storied history. At one point, the city was the center of British rule on the island of Ireland, but since independence, Dublin had created a new identity for itself as one of the great cities of Europe.
