Dubh Lin

I have been pretty busy the last few days trying to get all of the "touristy" things done in Dublin.Such as taking a picture of Molly Malone, a fish-seller by day and a prostitute by night... She's the tart with a cart... or the trollop with a scallop (said in a Dublin accent)
Yesterday we rode a hop-on-hop-off tour bus around the city a few times. This was nice because it helped us get more acquainted with the city and we got a Dubliner's view on the city.
I also connect with some other girls who have the same traveling philosophy as me. Cheap is good, and FREE is great. Seriously, though, it was nice to meet some other people who are more keen on spending their money on the actual traveling than on alcohol in the pubs every night.
We went all over the city, but some of the highlights were Christ Church and Dublin Castle.
My friend Karina was the "poster girl" for Dublin Castle and all of the pictures we took of it had her in them.
Next to Dublin Castle was a park where they were having a concert. (I'm not sure what the park is called, but is had these great ironworks in the brick wall.)

I also went to the Christ Church service this morning so I actual saw the inside of the church without paying for a tour. (That wasn't the only reason why I went... I am not THAT tight.) I also wandered upon St. Patrick's Cathedral and was amazed at how beautiful it was... they are doing construction on one of the turrets, even so it was breathtaking.

Today I also went to the Dublin Gallery and the Remembrance Park which is right next to it. Both were very nice and relaxed on a Sunday.
Not a whole lot else to report other than I have MORE PICTURES!
Here are the public links for those of you without Facebook. Those with Facebook can just look there...

Sounds like you're still having a great time. Don't forget to spend some of that money on souveniers (make sure you get a few things for yourself so you remember your trip).

Also, not sure if you knew this or not but you can add columns to your blog and you can create a photo one if you want to. It might make it easier to see pictures as you keep adding them instead of looking through old posts to try and find where that one album was...

hope that made sense.

Love you gal! I'm still praying for you too.
