Day 1- Dublin bus tour and Jameson Distillery aka: We didn't do much today

Today we got a late start, but with jet lag, we were expecting that. After getting into the City Centre, we got bounced between 2 bus offices before one finally realized that they were the ones we needed to see. We took a hop on/off tour of Dublin, the driver had a great sense of humor. The tour goes all around the city with 20 stops at or near all the major attractions.
At the distillery, Annie got to be one of the whiskey tasters in our group, and therefore drank more than me for once! I also learned that Jameson is really good with ginger ale. I also took a lot of pictures that will take some work in Lightroom because apparenly they are afraid of light at the distillery.
We saw a bunch of churches/cathedrals on our tour today, but didn't get to explore any. We're thinking we'll do that on Sunday when we have another free day. Tomorrow we are going to County Wicklow and seeing the sights there. On the news a few minutes ago they were predicting snow for that area tomorrow. We were really hoping we had left all that at home!
For the rest of tonight, I think we're just going to explore our hotel and the really old cemetery that's around the corner. Hope everyone is staying warm!
