Florence (Firenze), Italia

 Even though there are a bunch of pictures in this entry, the most memorable part of this trip, was the food. In Italy, there are never enough carbs eaten. A bowl of seemingly regular pasta with marinara, turns out to be an altogether different experience. One of my nights there is the perfect example of this idea. I had ordered soup and pasta order and could barely lift myself out of my chair to walk myself back since I was brought far too much and an extra dessert.

Dublin

 So, although Dublin was my shortest trip, by far, it was definitely one of my favorite trips. The people there are unbelievably nice and it is such a relaxed atmosphere. Below are the few pictures I took since I only really had a little over a day there.

This trip ended with me immediately planning my next trip to Ireland.
