In Dublin

Now we are in Dublin, Ireland!

This will probably be a short entry because although the internet is free at our new hostel, it resets every so often. So, we'll see how this goes.

We arrived in Dublin yesterday afternoon. The second we got off the bus, it started pouring rain. Lovely. Checked into our hostel and found a famous fish and chips place called Burdocks. Giant portions and fresh fish. Delicious. Also managed to get a Guinness at a pub across the street from our hostel.

Today we started off the day with a tour of Trinity College. It was led by a comical Irish student and left us off at the Old Library to see the Book of Kells exhibit. It was beautiful, although there were only 2 of the 4 books on display.

Next, we just walked down Grafton Street, a pedestrian mall pretty much. Fairly famous. We followed that down to St. Stephen's Green. We found some lunch at a noodle place which was tasty.

To end our day, we walked up and down O'Connell Street and saw the various monuments, statues, and various other historical sights that line the street. We also saw O'Connell Bridge and the River Liffey which divides Dublin north and south.

Dublin is a nice city and we are going to try to take it more easy here since it is not as big as London and we are spending as much time here.

Tomorrow we will visit the Cliffs of Moher!
