Three-Years Ago (03-September-2012) — Ireland

Gone to see Europe. Semester at Sea. Fall 2012 Semester Voyage on the MV Explorer. Day 11: Field Trip to Howth and Departure from Dublin, Ireland.

We were only in Dublin for two days. The town was crowded with additional tourists and US Naval sailors because Navy was playing Notre Dame. I finally found a working cash machine, but it only had 50 euro bills which were hard to use for small purchases. In the morning I joined a Field Trip for a hike in Howth. Later in the afternoon, I took a series of images as the students and staff went through security before boarding the ship. Security was looking for alcohol and other contraband (including food).
