howth, a fisherman's village.





Our last day trip we took in Ireland was to the city of Howth. This by far was our favorite city. It contained the quaintness we were looking for. We arrived by train in the morning...realizing we forgot our camera. Searching high and low we discovered a pharmacy that carried ONE disposable camera. Just up the street we found a small but adorable breakfast place with some of the best pastries we had over the entire trip. The restaurant was placed just above a small market. After breakfast we wondered aimlessly around the village, through neighborhoods filled with amazing country homes. We found ourselves at the very top of the hill walking through empty fields eventually finding the stunning cliffs of Ireland. The ones you see in travel magazines and books. The air on our faces was filled with the smell of the salty ocean and the sun glistened across the sea. It was by far the best day we spent in Ireland. If you ever find yourself on the east coast of Ireland you MUST see the fisherman's village of Howth.
