Grafton Street, Ha' Penny Bridge & the Jameson Distillery

I've heard some critique about how I need more pictures. Well, here you go! Here's me on Grafton Street - one of the main shopping areas in the city centre with tons of street performers. I saw a Russian string quintet there the other day:)



This is me on the Ha'Penny Bridge. It's the most famous bridge over the River Liffey. It was erected in 1816, it got its name because of the halfpenny toll crossers had to pay up until 1919.


And since on Thursdays class ends at noon, I finally decided to go to the Jameson Distilllery. The whiskey is now distilled in Co. Clare, but this is where it all began.


Here's a fun fact: American whiskeys are distilled once, Scottish whiskeys are distilled twice and Irish whiskeys are distilled three times. I'm just learning so much here!
