Dublin... Temperate Seasonal Forest
Packing List:
-Waterproof shoes
-Hiking shoes
-Camera
-Tent
-Sleeping bag
Adventures:
I was wrong about Cairo... Dublin is my new favorite! The nature is fabulous! The climate here is similar to Indiana, except the amount of precipitation is much higher. We went on plenty of nature hikes and learned a lot about the plants and animals that are native to Ireland, such as the Irish Orchid. We also learned that there are no wild snakes in Ireland! The only snakes in Ireland are pets or held in captivity. There are also only two species of mice and one species of reptile, but Ireland is abundant in waterfowl.
There are many rivers in Ireland, but the mouth of the Liffey River is right in Dublin. We went on a nice boat ride on the Liffey River and it made me glad I brought waterproof shoes. We also visited the Dublin Castle and saw the beautiful interior of the diplomatic structure. The last thing we did was go see a local music act at The Cobblestone.
