Adventures in Dublin
At this point we were awake for a loooong time!
"The Green" being St. Stephen's Green, a beautiful park in the middle of Dublin
A favorite son
The Green was in full bloom
Our hotel, if it were on this map would be right about in the center of the block to the south.
In the Park on the footbridge. Watch out for the swans!
"Toasties" Served all day!
Mr. Kehoe keeps watch
The first of the famous pubs we visited
The first of many perfect pints in Ireland
Lots of new gins for Jack to explore!
Another stop!
Molly Malone Statue. I wonder where you rub for good luck?
Directly behind our hotel was Iveagh Gardens.
We could see parts of it from our window
One of those windows on the top floor was ours!
Waterfall in the park
Another Pub!
The Bleeding Horse Pub dates to 1871
Lock C6! The Canal used to transport lots of Guinness!
Breakfast at the hotel
The River Liffey
We were on the north side of the River
Looking for the Epic Museum
The first of many beautiful weather days in Ireland and England!
We found it! The Epic Museum of Irish Emigration!
The good Irish Woman!
I don't think this is quite accurate. My doctor tells me that I am now 6'2".
Street art evoking times of famine
Hard to look at
Ha'Penny Bridge
Ha'Penny Bridge again. That makes a whole penny.
Another view of the River with the Customs House (maybe) in the distance.
Approaching the Temple Bar area
In the Temple Bar itself!
Close-up!
The bar at the Temple Bar
The Dublin Castle
We missed the tour, so we missed a lot of castle stuff.
Here is some Castle info
We got to see a lot of old portraits and old furniture
Old Furniture
Old people in the mirror
The Throne!
Flags and ornate decor
Guess what?
Yes! Bangers, mash, and a gin and tonic!
Live music! We thought we'd hear some traditional Irish music but this guy was doing soft rock covers.
Nice pub, though. Devitts!
78 Lower Camden Street if you're looking for it
Didn't go in this one as we had an appointment at Guinness, but we did like the hanging baskets. Spitalfields! In the heart of the Liberties!
On to the Storehouse!
Beer drinkers Mecca
1902 to 1988! That's a long fermentation!
Need anything Guinness?
I knew it had to be the water!
That's 449.6 degrees Fahrenheit! Hot stuff!
Burp!
10AM? What do they do the rest of the day?
Time for a Guinness!
There is a real Guinness harp!
Harp lager!
Guinness! For my strength!
For my crabby friends from Maryland!
Ahhhh! The payoff!
Great views from the top floor tasting bar!
I thought I was seeing double!
Works of art!
Where the real work gets done!
I need another one, she says.
Christ Church Cathedral
Leo Burdock Fish and Chips
Famous!
Our (second) room at Staunton's on the Green
Very nice!
Looking back over the hotel garden to the park beyond.
We had to visit the world-famous Shelbourne Hotel
The Horseshoe Bar at the Shelbourne Hotel
Our drinks
Some info
Dinner at No 27 Bar at the Shelbourne
Or maybe it was the Saddle Room
And so ends our stay in Dublin!
On to Galway!
