Let's go to Dublin

Hi! My name is Alice, and I am 8 years old. I went on an amazing trip to Dublin with my family. Dublin is in Ireland and it’s where the famous band U2 comes from. I even got to visit a cool place because of U2!

We went to see the Windmill Lane Recording Studios. This is the place where U2 recorded some of their music. It was so exciting! I learned that they made some of their best songs there. The studio is very colorful and has lots of graffiti art on the walls. I took lots of pictures and even pretended I was a rock star.

We also walked around the city and saw places that U2 sang about in their songs. Dublin is a really fun city with lots of music and history. I liked learning about U2 and seeing the places that inspired their music. If you ever go to Dublin, you should visit the Windmill Lane Recording Studios too!
