Howth

Several weeks ago, I went with a couple of my friends to the city of Howth (rhymes with both). We met in the city and took the DART to Howth. The DART is similar to Metrolink back in Los Angeles. The ride to Howth took 30 minutes from the city centre and a return trip cost €4.60.

Howth is a small town with a harbor. While we were walking around the town, a stray dog started walking ahead of us. Every so often, the dog would stop, turn around, and walk back to us if we were falling behind. We decided to follow this dog since he seemed like he wanted us to. After following the dog up the hill, he lead us to this unmarked path down the hill. We wanted to see the coast and heard the view from Howth Head was spectacular so down we went. The dog ended up staying with us until we went to a restaurant and had lunch. After lunch we walked to Howth Castle. Sadly we couldn't explore the castle as it is a private residence.
