the heart as it is | courage • grief • beauty

I mainly have only phone photos from this day since I was so tired of lugging around my camera at this point ! Our main reason for returning to Dublin was because we bought round-trip tickets to Dublin since it was cheaper that way (had to use my Aer Lingus voucher for our flights), and because we wanted to eat at Nando’s (which does not exist on the west coast of US I think) since we didn’t get to earlier during our first leg of the trip. We only stayed here 1 more night in a super duper small in-law unit behind someone’s house.

Anyways, here was our Nando’s order:

I thought it was alright. I probably should have gotten a spicier sauce. I think I got the 3rd spiciest sauce and it wasn’t that spicy to me… It was my 3rd time trying Nando’s (first in D.C., 2nd in London).

We also finally learned we could use day passes so we got some to take the double decker buses to and from our AirBnb for Nando’s and for the airport the last day. It was fun being able to sit at the very front on the 2nd level of these buses. You really get to see the city from a different angle:

And that is a wrap for our Europe trip ! I have another reflections post where I might share some things I noticed/reflected on during these couple of weeks. But for some quick reflecting here, I really loved western Ireland and Bergen. I would love to go back to Europe and spend more time in the Galway and Connemara part of Ireland, and also spend some chill time in charming Bergen and also more time in the fjords.
