St. Patrick
|
During
a guided city
tour we are taken into St. Patrick where we found the grave of Jonathan Swift.
The church is designed with gothic influence and is very beautiful. |

Up to Something!?! |
After the tour we are free to
investigate the city on our own. Pat, Ann, Carrie, and I head out into Dublin.
We stop at a little shop and I find name cards explaining the meaning of names.
Here are a few of interest:
Egan- son of Egan Sweeny-
Pleasant White- fair/bright |

We stop in a little cafe
called, Bewley's, which was established in 1840, for fish 'n' chips. I had my
first taste of shark...it was good:) Pat is very excited about visiting a shop
called 'Clarks', which sells shoes. We head to Clark's after we eat, where Pat
and Ann buy some shoes. We pass the Molly Malone statue where Pat talks to a
cute cop. They have closed Trinity College to the public because Bill Clinton,
and Bono and some others are visiting. We don't get to see the Book of Kells,
which was something that I was really looking forward to. |

My group goes to the National Gallery to view some wonderful Irish Paintings. My favorite was a painting called, The
Sixth Seal. This painting took my breath away.
At 5:45 we meet the rest of
the tour group to have supper together. We go to MoJo's for supper. I love the
atmosphere, good music, food, and friends!

The bus driver was supposed to
take us back to the hotel, which is about 20 minutes from where the pub was. The
bus driver gets lost and 1 1/2 hours later we finally arrive to our hotel.
Carrie and I walk down to the Internet Cafe, where I email those dear to me:)
