Saturday night we headed into town to see the "Best of the Fest....Edinburgh comedy festival". We went to a place called "The Laughter Lounge", enjoyed a complimentary cocktail and were entertained by 3 Irish comedians. A little hard to understand their strong accents but overall we could get their jokes.

Later that night we visited a couple of the local pubs for some more drinking and a bit of dancing. Music & fashion is very interesting here!! Kind of in a bit of a time warp!

Today we went sightseeing to the country to a place called "Glendalough". It was beautiful, so green (just like in the pictures), the mountains were awesome. We went on one of the hikes through the forest to explore a bit more of the area and got to see the historic remains of a monastary and grave yard from back in the 1700's.

Had lunch at another local pub and are now enjoying some r & r at Bree's house.

We are off to the countryside again tomorrow to see some more of the sights. So far we are enjoying our time in Ireland. Definitely a little different to what we had expected but once you get out of the city it is really green and beautiful.
