This was the room I stayed in in Dublin. The bed was really nice.
I went to see the Book of Kells, which is an illuminated manuscript Gospel book, written in Latin. It contains the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. One of the things that makes it so special is the art work inside of it. Hours upon hours were spent on it. It's definitely worth Googling. We weren't allowed to take any pictures of the actual text.
The Book of Kells is at Trinity College. I believe it was 4 euro to get inside, but that was with a student discount. So probably 6 euro without a student card.
This is part of Trinity College. Beautiful old campus.
This canal ran throughout the entire city. I saw boats on this on a couple of occasions. It seems surprising, because if you'll notice a waterfall at the end, you might wonder how it's done? There are different levers that the boatsman use to drain and raise the water levels so they can get the boats up and down the canals. The canal is much bigger than this in most places.
If you'll notice the signs, you'll see that they are written in two languages: English and Irish. I never knew!
This was common throughout the city. Artist's would set up their paintings down a strip of road for purchase. The artist of these paintings happens to be just to the right. He's painting another masterpiece. My favorite thing about him was his beret.Ha!
A street in Dublin.
The Olympia Theatre. Pretty famous. Sweet awesome.
I just couldn't resist taking a picture of this. It seemed so quaint.
This was quaint also. There were pubs all up and down this street.
This was a door of a pub. I almost walked right past it. Then something caught my eye, and I did a double take. Just think--I could've missed this jewel.
