Snow in Dublin


After spending New Year's in the Wicklow mountains, we've had a white beginning of the year in Dublin city too. Not only the snow, but also (or mostly) the cold temperatures caused the country to kind of paralyze for a few days. I took it as a chance to stay in town and enjoy it.

I took this below on Friday 7th... Bright and sunny work day (luckily I went home to hang my laundry on my lunch break and I got to be outdoors longer than just to walk over to the other building's café :)


Saturday 8th... snowman day. Magda and I made a snowman on Charlotte Quay:



And walked around and had a nice lunch in a Thai and Vietnamese restaurant downtown. (Thanks Magda for the couple of pix I'm borrowing here, and for a nice day together!)



At night I went to a DJ tropical session with a bunch of couchsurfers, and on the way back home I stumbled onto a snow storm (or almost).



This guy's snowman was bigger than my pile of snow, and they had a snow ball war.


The coolest thing of the night was a huge feeling of happiness, enjoying the snow like a kid, stepping on it and feeling it, making a snow pile in front of a park, observing these guys's fun fight, and capturing the beauty of every single moment through my eyes.


Sunday 9th...
