Man, can't keep up with all the days....so, when we last spoke (read?), I was talking about our time at Trinity College Dublin. Ate lunch at a place called "Gotham Cafe" that had some great pizza and old Rolling Stone covers on the wall. We then took in Dublin Castle. A great example of using the old for the new, the castle is home to Dublin's Garda Traffic Unit (beat cops), an odd art exhibit, a museum that was closed, and some fancy state offices. Granted, the was a mishmash of old towers and ruins, it's still got some great architecture.
After our afternoon rest/desweat, we went to dinner at the pub next door, "Darkey Kelly's" a former brothel/house of ill-refute (funny as it's next to a church). Watched the Celtic/Arsenal Champion's League match (Arsenal won with two really lucky goals). Also watched an Irishman and a lady from New York (Long Island, I think...really, sounded like Fran Drescher "the Nanny" but not as nasal). After the game we crashed.
Tomorrow, we discuss the Guinness Storehouse, an overpriced warehouse, and the unfortunate effects of a tour guide to guide you...
END OF LINE.
