Late Afternoon in Dublin

Tom relaxed for a little while this afternoon (watching Irish Family Feud), and I think he thought he was going to be able to go to sleep for the night at 3:30pm, but around 4:30pm we went back out.

Our first stop was the Pub right next to the Hotel to watch some of the Dublin City vs. Offley match, the pub had an unusual amount of John Wayne memorabilia.

We then walked to Jonathan Swift's Birhplace and the Guinness Brewery. The Brewery closes at 5pm so we are going back tomorrow. We also went to Phoenix Park, which is Dublin's version of Central Park, and after which the Boston Commons is modeled.

After the park we had ice cream and dinner and looked around the shops.

Tomorrow- Guinness Brewery, Kilmanhan Gaol (an old jail and mental hospital)and a train to somewhere outside the city, don't know where yet.

Good Night.

Love the Mr. Whippy! So funny. Do you think you'll see an ice cream truck in Cologne, Brussels, Paris or Amsterdam? Did they have any Maggie or Madeline streets?
