Ireland

Last year when they announced that Penn State University would be playing their first football game in Ireland, I couldn’t think of a better reason than that to plan a trip around the game. Here we are now in Ireland with just a few Penn State Fans. 

For the first part of the trip we are staying at the Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Killiney which is a lovely location just outside the city of Dublin. 

Surrounding the Hotel is Victoria Park which has lots of nature trails and spectacular views of Dublin Bay and the surrounding areas. 

Even the dogs enjoy the view.

A short walk away is the small town of Dalkey, the walk is short but very hilly. 

It is a wonderful location to start the trip.
