Busy
It's been a busy couple of days here in Dublin. We've seen a lot of historical sites including Kilmainham jail, the General Post office (main headquarters of the 1916 easter rising), a lot of the monuments around town, a memorial to the people who were executed after the rising, an exibit about the rising at the national museum here in Dublin, and a lot of other places. I think you can see a pattern there. We also visited the Guinness storehouse and took a tour and saw the view from the 360 degree gravity bar. We saw an Irish play tonight called the Seafarer, which was pretty good. I bought a new Claddagh ring that I'm very happy with. The weather was a little crazy today and the Irish don't know what to do with themselves when it snows so the buses stopped running and the sidewalks were all icey and it wasn't even snowing that much. We did make it back to the hotel alive though and I guess we'll see if we make it home on time. The local airport is closed today but mommy said it should be open again tomorrow. Pictures to come when I get home and sort through them and have internet for more than an hour at a time in the lobby.
