Hey everyone! I am in Dublin today and will be leaving for Rome tonight around 730PM. I am really sad to leave here because Ireland is awesome! We have been out seeing the sights and yesterday we toured the Guinness Brewery which was amazing! There is a bar at the top of the brewery where you get Guinness (of course) and can see a 360 degree view of Dublin. As if that wasnt amazing enough, there was a double rainbow right in front of us which absolutely has made my trip this far. It was so beautiful and I think I took about 1000 pictures of it!
We have been going out in Temple Bar district the past couple of nights which has been a blast. Two of my good guy friends from high school, Phillip and Richard, are here and actually staying in the room right next to us. It has been so nice to hangout with some American guys and its been a real relief having them here. All of us cannot ever stop laughing around each other and they really have been awesome!
Were about to go on a train (the Dart, Dublin's MARTA) to go and see some of the Irish countryside before Becca and I have to leave tonight for Rome. Were going to a town called Howth, which is a small fishing village. I am really excited to see it! Dublin is a lot more laid back than London is, which has been a nice change of pace. Everyone here is so incredibly nice and very helpful. We also dont get starred down for not dressing like Sienna Miller like we did in London.
The weather here is cold but it hasnt been as rainy as it was in London. Its funny--they play a lot of AmericaN 1970'S music here which is unexpected. Last night they played a Counting Crows song in teh bar and I about died! I love Dublin and I am a little sad to leave.
Anyway, I am off for the tour of the countryside. Talk to everyone soon and I love and miss yall!
Lo

Ireland sounds wonderful! We can't wait to see the pictures and hear more stories and details. Ben cant wait to hear all the stories that go along with the pictures Dad saw the capital one account and "HOLY SHIT" are his exact words. Ben and Dad are looking forward to all the free stuff that they will be getting from you. Ben wants a lot of bootleg DVDs and dad wants enought booz to last him a lifetime or 3 weeks. He really wants Pitrone. Mom cant stop laughing once she proofed this. This is one big joke except the fist 2 sentences. Hope you have a great time in Rome and we look forward to hearing from you soon. Love you lots, Mom, Dad, Ben, Nick and Maddie.

Your blogs sound like you are having an amazing time! I print them out so Grandma and Grandpa can see them. We missed you this weekend. Now Hershey and Maddie are best friends and they raced around your pool. Keep having the time of your life!
Love, Carrie
Hi Lauren,
I hope you are having a great time in Rome. How much do you remember from your trip years ago? We tried to call you earlier but the phone does not seem to have voice mail. Do you have a land line in Florence? Send the number if so.
Becca's mom sounded really happy to hear from her. It is so good to get an update so often; it really puts us at ease.
It was so good to come to work this morning and see your email first thing. That was great! I know you are having the time of your life. We love you and miss you too.
Love, Mom, Dad, Ben, Nick and Maddie........
