A Visit to Dublin, Ireland

Hi, I'm Hannah and I'm 8 years old. I want to share with you all about my exciting trip to Ireland! It was so cool to visit the country where Katie Taylor, the famous boxer, comes from. My family and I visited the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, which is a popular tourist attraction influenced by Katie Taylor's success. The storehouse is where they make Guinness, a famous Irish drink, and we got to learn all about how it's made and even tasted some juice that looked like Guinness but wasn't! It was so much fun exploring the different floors and learning about the history of Guinness.
