Dublin

Took a day trip with Zach to Dublin today. This is going to be a REALLY short entry because we're getting up REALLY early tomorrow! Highlights:

  • Christ Church Cathedral. Got there in time for noon Peace Prayers; no music, unfortunately, but it was a nice stop.

  • St. Patrick's Cathedral. Impossibly old. I believe the first church on that site was in 420 A.D. if I'm remembering correctly.

  • Guinness Storehouse. At 14 euros a little pricey for a tour, but pretty interesting nonetheless. Amazing how long it's been in business (1790?) and how much goes into the process. I still don't like the stuff, but it was an interesting tour.


Then a bus trip back. You can tell a lot of people use public transit here, because the buses are actually quite comfortable!

That's it for now... now it's packing and trying to get to bed at a less-insane hour (a reasonable hour went bye-bye a long time ago).

Tomorrow... off to Scotland. Woohoo!
