Doh!

Well, our second day in Dublin is nearly over. This will be a somewhat short update and without pictures for now, because I've had a hard time finding wireless internet access that was reliable (and my debit card refuses to work. I don't know why).

Our first day here was somewhat brief, not because we weren't here long but because we were all soo tired from the trip that we slept away most of the afternoon. After a real adventure driving from the airport to the bed and breakfast, really we didn't feel like going anywhere. We did walk into Rathfahrnaim and have a good dinner, but then it was back to the room for the World Cup match between France and Portugal.

Today was our longest and busiest day of the trip, with breakfast at 8 a.m. and the rest of the day dedicated to bus and walking tours of Dublin. We stopped at Trinity College, several museums, and Temple Bar, a strip of traditional pubs that's as cool and colorful as you could want. Also Kilmainham Gaol (jail), which was big on the history of the 1916 rising, which Erin would be all too happy to tell you all about.

Tomorrow we'll be heading west, across the country to Galway. Perhaps on the way I'll have a chance to go over the photos we've taken so far.
