Dublin in the Morning (part 2)

In the last few weeks, I’ve enrolled in the complete bartending course at the Dublin Bar Academy. It meant being up early – and into the city most days by 8:00 AM.

Warning – photo heavy but hopefully you enjoy it.

Morning rituals. Some folks make coffee (apartment window on the left) others go to morning mass. Others like myself get up early to walk the streets and capture the waking city for instagram. How crazy am I?  Happy Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014. Woke up and was
