Dubliners

Here are some more photos from our escapades in Dublin.


The crew on the Ha'penny Bridge: Kassy (Am. FM), Ben (UK FM), myself, and Lisa (Am. FM)


Romaine and Kassy by a pretty fountain. We were waiting for the castle to open. More on that later. Romaine is a really nice Parisian we met in our hostel. We invited him to tag along.


Kassy and I preparing for a duel of honor in the kiddie section of the regimental history wing of the Irish National Museum. Peter Pan never grew up, so neither will I.


RAWR! Welcome to the natural history wing of the Irish National Museum. They say the best way to learn is to experience it yourself. This is me learning about T-Rex. I feel very enlightened.

This is the cheesiest tourist shop in all of Dublin. And this is the more serious section of the store. Hmm...

We were playing Spoons in the hostel. And then it devolved to just playing with spoons.


What happens when your exterior decorator sniffs a little too much "Irish clover." I don't know what the purpose of this building is, or who owns it, but it's crazy!

A cool shot of an official building, courtesy of Kassy. It might be the Irish National Bank. It might be Irish Parliament. It might be the other side of the Irish National Museum (the part that was shut down for renovation). Basically, I have no idea where we were. And this was before the visit to the Guinness Factory.


The famous Gaiety Theatre, erected in 1871. There are no particularly fascinating stories about it that I can find; sorry to disappoint. It was fun to find, though.


And here, captured on camera, is a rare sighting: one of the few moments in which we actually sat down. So...much...walking!
