Ireland is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I've ever been. Below are some of my favorite moments from our short stay in Ireland.

The Guinness Brewery was our first stop of the trip. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you have the opportunity.

Location: Guiness Storehouse, Dublin

The beginning of our Guinness Tour.

The man who started it all!

Lessons on how to properly drink and pour Guinness.

3/4 of the way through the pour, the bartenders let the Guinness sit for a few minutes. This allows the beer to properly settle to ensure the perfect taste and head is achieved.

This is the Guinness Sky Bar at the top floor of the brewery. Definitely one of the cooler places you can drink a beer.

Before leaving, Luke and I bought a tasting paddle that contained different types of beer. We were also lucky enough to grab seats right in front of a live band that was performing.

Later that day, we Ubered to the Jameson Whiskey Distillery in Dublin. We signed up for a guided tour that ended up being far more interesting than the Guinness tour. Nonetheless, both tours were a great time.

Apparently, I'm now an official Jameson Irish Whiskey taster.

On our last day we went on a bus ride tour to the Cliffs of Moher. The cliffs are one of the biggest tourist attractions in Ireland and soar over the ocean at roughly 800 feet. Along the way, we stopped at a few small towns. One of the more interesting things we saw during the drive was the usage of stonewalls throughout the countryside.

Even though the tour was roughly 12 hours round trip, the view from the Cliffs of Moher was more than worth it. Below are some pictures I took along the way as well as some cool pictures I got at the Cliffs of Moher.

We stopped at this restaurant for lunch right before heading to the Cliffs of Moher. It was without a doubt, one of the best meals I've had on our trip thus far.
