In Dublin, we took both a hop on/hop off bus tour of the the city as well as a walking tour more akin to the Bataan death march than anything else; never have I walked so fast for so long and seen so much! Just a few:
The start of Grafton Street, a place designed to part one from the tourist dollar...
A bronze cow or bull that mysteriously appeared overnight in one of Dublin's squares...
The Last Supper, recreated with people from the Dublin streets, among them a tattoo artist, a librarian, a Trinity student, a building worker and a network analyst...
A bronze statue of Molly Malone with her cart of cockles and mussels...
A former church, now converted into a bar...
Pool-playing rats on the Bank of Ireland façade...
An oast house (hop kiln) at the Guinness Brewery, and a statue of Mr. Guinness himself...
Trinity College, home of the Book of Kells, where a fellow American tourist asked our guide (I kid you not) if Trinity had any religious affiliation...
The start of Grafton Street, a place designed to part one from the tourist dollar...
