On Monday after an effortless 5.5K run through Phoenix Park, we chased the gorgeous day to Malahide, another gorgeous seaside town outside Dublin. Quaint and tranquil, its one of those places you never want to leave.

Photo Op!
We strolled through the small town, stopping at the beautiful Malahide Castle and grounds, where we ate our packed lunch in sunny peace. But I really cant describe the tranquility there, you'll have to come here and experience it for yourselves :) That night saw us discovering the hidden gem that is The Cobblestone, practically outside my door! We discovered that a finger of Jameson is locally known as a jaemie, and that Aliza's new favorite drink is a Jameson-Ginger ale-Lime cocktail! Yes, we learned many new cocktails at the Jameson Distillery.
When we woke up, it was to the glorious smell of buttermilk, as it happened to have been Pancake Tuesday. Yes, that's a real (and glorious) thing.
After a few Museums, passing this amazing sight,
we went home to rest, as that night we had tickets to see The Head and The Heart. Apparently there IS a band that I never heard of! But I am grateful that Aliza introduced me to them, as now I am hooked! The venue was a club, famous for hosting up-and-coming bands, and we had a fantastic time, a great way to close out her visit. So thank you for coming to visit, Leez, was so great having you here!!!! You are a true friend :)
And as a special treat, today I have a castle AND a beer!

And to celebrate Aliza's last night, her pear cider on the left, and Harp, another Irish-brewed beer for me, on the right.
As I leave Dublin tomorrow for a new city and a new adventure, I will be back in a few days with hopefully more stories and more pictures!
