When you walk out of Dublin Airport, the humid sea breeze wrapped in the unique smell of burning peat hits you in the face. This is the first hug Ireland gives you. Dublin is our capital and a great starting point for your trip to Ireland. In the morning, you must go to the "Mulligan's" pub in the Temple Bar area and order a glass of Guinness stout fresh from the barrel. The foam is as fine as velvet. Don't be surprised. In Ireland, a glass of stout for breakfast is a life ritual for old-school Dubliners. After drinking, stroll along the cobblestones and admire the exquisite porches of Georgian-style buildings. Each porch is painted in a different bright color, as if telling the story of a different family.
