The rest of the trip + a few Paris pictures

So for the rest of the trip we drove around, and went back to Dublin and did some shopping on Henry Street, and just spent some time together, we didn't take any pictures and we just enjoyed each other. On Wednesday the 23 we went to Paris, and we spent 2 nights there. We saw the Sacre Cour, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Moulin Rouge, and many other sights around Paris. We were so nervous about going to another country where we didn't speak any of the language, but we did very well, and it was AMAZING there!

I will try to blog some more this coming week but I am so jet lagged right now and so tired, I am going to bed. Keep and eye out on Dustin's blog for his touched up amazing photos of our trip!




Ireland Day 4 and 5

Day 4 and 5 we decided to go back to Giants Causeway and drive around to do whatever, and near the end of the day we were looking for some stone circles and it took us over 2 hours to locate the darn circles, and they weren't that great, but the Bed and Breakfast we stayed at was superior, I think we were the only patrons of the place, and it was so sweet! Then we went to the Mussoden Temple that was awesome, it was a house that had a temple that was placed right at the edge of coast, that was said he built it to meet women there to have their secret meetings :) It was so amazing! We also stopped at White Sands beach, and it was so beautiful! Although there were no bikini babes, since the weather was a mere 50+ degrees, all of the beach goers were wearing pants, and winter coats.

The first picture is a picture of the houses across from the bed and breakfast. All of the doors all around had different colors for their doors. It was so neat!

Ireland Day 3

We stayed at a great Bed and Breakfast just down the street from Seth's parents house, and they served us a traditional Irish breakfast witch was very delicious and filling, then we drove down the street and met up with Charlotte and Seth to do their day before shoot around the country side. We started off at a great park that is near by Seth's parents house, because Dustin saw a waterfall picture in the book we bought and wanted to see it. At first we couldn't see it and we were about ready to go to somewhere else, but eventually at the end of the road was the waterfall, it was so awesome! So we got some sweet shots there, and then we headed up to Dunluce Castle and the Giants Causeway. We also had a great lunch that Charlotte and Seth made for all of us that we ate while it was raining a little bit.
While we were at Dunluce we wanted to get a picture of the castle behind them as a view of the coast, so we figured out where we would have to walk. Little did we know that there were little streams that we had to cross, and some muddy bogs that we went through. My foot landed in one when I didn't expect it, and *squish* mud all over my shoes and in my shoes, but it was definitely worth the picture!

I thought I was scared when Dustin drove, because of the small roads and the proximity to the other cars, but Seth is a seasoned driver there. So he was in his element and knew how to drive around there, he was passing cars with ease, and cruising along country lanes. There were a few times that I was freaked out but most of the time it was fun because he was comfortable with driving and he drove like the others around him.

It was so awesome because after the shoot we took the coastal road back to Belfast, and we were able to look around the area and see stuff. And while we were driving we saw a rainbow, it was so pretty.

When we got back his mom had dinner and they invited us to have dinner with them. It was a full traditional Irish dinner, and it was so delicious! Just thinking of the dinner, makes me want to eat it again.
