     Ireland and Northern Ireland were both very striking locations. The rolling green landscapes stretch into the distance and, at certain points on the island, drop dramatically into the ocean. The Giant's Causeway was unique, but I found the rock formations to be much smaller than they appear in photographs! On a whirlwind trip back to Dublin I would definitely suggest the Guinness factory for beer drinkers (and even non beer drinkers) as the industrial compound retains its' distinctive old exterior while housing a very modern museum, multiple bars, and dining facilities inside. There is also a great view of the city from the top floor.

     Unfortunately my time in England was short, but I enjoyed being there immensely as I had the opportunity to catch up with many fellow travelers from all over the world due to London's hub status within Europe. You can easily spend days in all of the donation based museums viewing artwork and artifacts that stretch the entirety of recorded human history. The Museum of London has excellent period specific recreations of shops that you can walk through and the Tate Modern Art Museum has to have one of the biggest interior spaces for artists to exhibit in anywhere in the world. Be sure to stop by Oxford and take in the magnificent stone architecture of the university (the museums are excellent there too). Perhaps one of my favorite meals from England was Baegel Bake (spelled some odd way or another) in London. An amazing fresh baked bagel with beef, mustard, and pickles for 3 pounds!

     Anyways that's it for photos from my past 16 months of travel, I do hope you've enjoyed viewing them at least a fraction of the amount of happiness it brings me to be able to travel and take them. Hopefully there will be many more to come from places I haven't been to yet! 74 countries so far and still much more to see here...and even better than looking at photos, be inspired and go see some places for yourself!
