Doing It All on Day Three

Today, Jeff & I did our own walking tour of Dublin. We hit most of the major sites and covered a lot of ground. It was a successful day but very long. Thank goodness for pictures because it is already a blur. Enjoy the pics, they are only a small selection from the 150 that we took today. Tomorrow morning we will be starting our drive over the County Clare on the West coast to visit with a friend from Lakeland and see the countryside. The glass circle at the top is the Gravity Bar at the Guiness Factory.

After our long walk we were excited to learn how to pour the perfect pint. Who knew that there were 6 steps??

The "Surge"...all the gases rising to the top. This takes two minutes and then you have to top it off to get the perfect foam head. My original goal was to drink a full pint while in Ireland.....hhmm it was gross so that definitly did not work out. But I tried.


Finally, I got my carriage ride!! We almost passed it up but I wanted to do it so bad and our legs were killing us. It was definitly worth it.



So cool!




The Dublin Castle....the cars ruined my photo op.





Being silly in the castle.






This was a surprise I ran into at City Hall. I was very excited.
