The first Thursday of school (Jan. 20th), my class was cancelled so I spent my free day in Dun Laoghaire (Dun Leary). It is a seaside suburb of Dublin, easily accessible by bus.
Amélie came with me to explore the area. First we went to the shopping center and then walked around the town. We went up random streets to look at the different buildings, businesses and homes, and eventually made our way down to the harbor. We walked down the West Pier and made our way to the light house at the very end of it. From that area we were able to look out at the harbor and the entire town.
After stopping for lunch, we visited the tourist highlights of Dun Laoghaire (People's Park and James Joyce's Tower). We found People's Park easily but did not know where to find the tower. Luckily a nice woman told us where to go. Unfortunately, once we got there the tower was closed. Despite the setback we still took a picture with the tower. We then walked back to Dun Laoghaire and took the bus home.

I ended up going back the next day with another friend but didn't take my camera that day. I really loved this area. It had a great sleepy small town vibe but was still bustling with energy and excitement.
