We started the day off with an excellent breakfast buffet at the hotel. From there we loaded up in our tour bus and took a drive around Dublin. Our tour guide was a local who knew all there was to know about this fair city. We learned about the Georgian homes, the people who lived there and what their struggles were.
The highlight of the day was St. Patrick's Cathedral. Pictures and words alone can't express how beautiful this building is. This 13th century structure has beautiful floors, stained glass, pillars and so many details. Our tour guide took us through the building and told us all the nuassiances about the cathedral.
From here part of our group took off on foot for their own private time with the city. The Richardson's, Wright's and I went with the group who was heading to The Brazen Head. This establishment is the oldest in the country of Ireland dating back to the 12th century (1198 to be exact). It was sureal to sit in the same place where the vikings had been centuries before. We ate an excellent meal there and took some time to look around.
After departing the Brazen Head, some of us headed out on foot to Grafton Street. This street is a pedistrian only street that had all the major stores for shopping. It was crowded!
It's been a wonderful day, but I am EXHAUSTED! I look forward to visiting with you tomorrow!
Good night lads,
