Ireland - Dublin


We started our visit to Ireland with a 1.5 day visit in Dublin. Here's the top 10 list of the things we did:

- Grafton Street
- General Post Office / City Hall
- Monuments: Molly Mallone - Spire - Ha’penny Bridge
- Walking Tour: Canal District
- Jameson Distillery (Irish whiskey)
- St. Steven's Green Park
- Temple Bar + Stag’s Head Pub
- Musical Pub Tour (listened to great jigs and reels)
- Walking Tour: Historical
- Christ Church Cathedral
- St. Patrick's Cathedral
- Georgian Architecture (lots of great doors!)
- Guinness: Tour of St. James Gate (360 degree bar)


We also learned about the Guinness Book of Records, Irish potato famine, Irish surnames, Irish struggles with England and a little about their economy too. In between all those interesting facts we visited several pubs...The Porterhouse and Messre Maguire were two of our favorites! See the pictures here.
