The students have decided to call this the second Thursday of the trip and not "the last day". This morning we had a chance to sleep in and shop at our leisure. In the afternoon we went to the Guinness Storehouse. The Storehouse provides a journey deep into the heart of the world famous GUINNESS® brand and company. This historical building is central to Dublin's and Ireland's heritage, and has been continually updated to create a blend of fascinating industrial tradition with a contemporary edge. The seven floors bring to life the rich heritage of GUINNESS®, telling the story from its origins here at St. James's Gate in Dublin to its growth as a global brand, known all around the world. We now have three individuals certified to pour the perfect pint of Guinness.
Later we had our farewell dinner at Gallagher’s Boxty House which is a traditional Irish pub style restaurant located in the heart of Temple Bar. The restaurant offers unique Irish food presented in a contemporary, European context. They specialize in light Boxty pancakes cooked on a hot griddle and served with a range of fillings (which many of us enjoyed), each soaked in one of the restaurants own unique sauces. This gave us the chance to thank our guides Dan, Kelly and Marius.
Flight out tomorrow looks good. we leave Dublin at 2:10 pm and should arrive into Boston at 4:10 pm. Thanks to all the followers of the blog and thank you for allowing Springfield College to host this trip for the Department of Exercise Science and Sports Studies students.
Cheers for now!
