Dublin

Today was our day to wander Dublin, and there are a bunch of pictures starting from this page. We walked and saw the Book of Kells at Trinity college. Then we walked to the Four Courts and took some pictures for Michelle. Eventually we wound up at the Guiness Brewery and Storehouse for lunch. There we met Ruben's co-workers from Amazon.ie, Jean and Craig. We had lunch at the Storehouse and got our free beer.

We spent some time doing the Guiness tour: as much as we could given that it wasn't that thrilling to the kids. Ruben had a beer (with a shamrock in the foam) at the Gravity Bar up at the top of the Brewery.

Instead of walking back we took a tour on a double decker Green and Yellow bus. This way we could see much more of the city, including the huge park.

Kate went to see the National Gallery and we took the next stop. Ruben took the kids back to the rooms while Michelle and I shopped on Grafton Street for an hour. Then we rested as well.

We had dinner at Luigi Malones in Temple Barf ... I mean Temple Bar. We didn't want to stay long past dark because it was getting a bit seedier, although Ruben went on Walk-a-bout to see the area after he had gotten us back to the rooms.
