  2. Indulging in Murphy's Ice Cream

  3. Walking amidst the umbrellas that were strung throughout Anne's Lane

  4. Seeing sheep and cattle grazing on farms in Ireland's countryside while riding tour buses

  5. Spotting green and yellow double-decker buses carrying weary passengers when navigating the streets of Dublin like a Dubliner during the early hours of the morning to board tour buses
