Dublin

Shelby and I took the same flight and arrived very late (2am).  We enjoyed the walk though, because there were lots of buildings with pretty lights:

The view from the Airbnb in the morning:

The flat:

Sam and Erin went through a very confusing process to get the airbnb keys- they were convinced for several hours that they had been scammed.  The place was in an awesome location, but it was clear that it was more "illegal hotel" than part of the airbnb host/guest experience.

We spent Good Friday exploring the city, which was completely dead.  All the stores were closed and most people must of been with family.

We went to the Dublin Castle, which was used by the British to rule the Irish:


It had a nice looking chappel, but we weren't allowed in on the holiday.

We went to the garden, which was very beautiful.  Unfortunately my phone was unable to capture how splendidly colorful all of the plants and flowers were.

 

Inside the old horse house was an art exhibit on product design that we checked out:

I really liked this one. It was made completely from packing tape on a light wall:

We also went to the most famous ice cream shop:

And then we alllmmooost went and saw the book of Gaellic in Trinity College. We missed this:
