Dublin

Street musicians were awesome! Liked this huge mosaic, only part of it.
Getting ready to return tomorrow, please let there be sun!

National Archeology Museum of Ireland

After a couple of hours at Trinity, Chris wanted to hit this museum. I did a couple hours, we met for lunch, then I went on my own. Went back later, had severe museum overdose.
There were several "Bog Bodies" people who were buried in the bog and well preserved, 400BC to 200BC.

Trinity College

Old harp, spiral staircase, creature from Book of Kells.

Trinity College - Book of Kells

Couldn't take a photo of the book, thought to have been written early 9th century at Kells. The library was very impressive.

Riverdance

Couldn't take photos of performance - absolutely wonderful. We bought tickets the night before, so got the dregs. However it was close to stage. Quite an amazing show, dancing, singing and musical numbers.
We got out early today, 8:30 and saw the morning rush, extraordinary number of bicycles.

Dublin

Salamanca Restaurant where we ate.

Dublin Streets

After leaving Guinness we walked back into the more touristy area.

Guinness Gravity Room

Best part of the tour was the fabulous view from the top floor bar, drinking Guinness, soaking up some rays and enjoying the view. Have to say that was Dublin's best bar!

Guiness Tour

The safe is for their yeast.
