After Innishmor, I ferried back to Rosseveal, then by bus to Galway, then by another bus back to Dublin. I stayed at a new hostel in Dublin, a fun place that used to be a recording studio for U2, Van Morrison, Sinead O'Connor, etc. I checked in there and then set out to catch a few more sights and activities in my final few hours in the country. At Kenny's recommendation, I went to the Old Jameson Distillery to learn how they make Irish whiskey.

When the tour guide asked for a volunteer, I raised me hand. Always glad to pitch in for the team. I was treated to a taste test of four Irish whiskeys, Scotch, and bourbon. I really had no idea what the differences between these all were before I took this tour. Now I'm proud to say I can tell them apart, or at least I can tell the Irish stuff from Scotch from bourbon.

That night, I went to see the new Lord of the Rings movie. I ran into a woman there who I had met on Inishmor! The next morning, I tried to go coin shopping for my friend the coin collector John Galler, but failed to find anyplace open. Oh well. I saw this nice PO drop box, and then I left.
