Bhaile Átha Cliath (Dublin)

As I took 300 pictures this weekend, I'll just be posting a bunch with captions!


We started out the day with a full Irish breakfast (English breakfast plus mushrooms, potatoes and black pudding) in this cute little cafe...very Common Grounds-esque!


Then we took a field trip to view the Book of Kells at Trinity College which is one of the oldest, most decorated copies of the gospel, written in Latin (of course, you couldn't take pictures of the actual book).


After Trinity College, we went to visit Dublin Castle which was not in fact an entire castle but a single turret. Not really worth the dangerous trek up an icy hill.


Our journey on the Dublin Green Bus next took us to the Guiness plant. 




By far one of the coolest buildings I have ever been in!
The Guinness wasn't that bad either :)


In honor of Janis' birthday, we hit up the Temple Bar area of Dublin Saturday night. We found a pub with some awesome live music!
