And I'm spent

O, the memories.

Here are our Thursday night accomodations. The National Police were right down the hall. Though I suppose that wasn't sleep, maybe a long nap.

Now here's some good advertising:
***

Statue of O'Connell on the main street:
***
Keep up the good work MESSrs Maguire:
***
Just try and forget the name of this store:
***
Trinity Collage campus

***
Dublin Castle

***
Whiskey Mecca

***
Whoops, I left my platinium card in my other pair of old, frayed jeans. I normally have no problem spending 50,000€ (73,242.90 USD)for a bottle of whiskey. All
I'm saying is that that whiskey better be magical.

Christ's Church
Site of the first church:
***
St. Andrew's Church.

***

Oldest pub in Ireland (acc
ording to the sign). Let's celebrate with a pint.

***
On the way to the Guinness Storehouse, by the Liffey River.

***
A Mecca for beer lovers.

***
Guinness wishing fountain. I wish I had a never-emptying pint....and also that I didn't smell like airport.

***
A Guinness harp.

***
Roger that.***
Keisha and I enjoying a long needed Guinness. They make you work for it. We hiked 7 stories for a pint of the dark stuff and the view. Also, the picture was taken by a Scotsman, who turned 18 that day and got a pint on the house. Now that's a birthday.

***
Bird's eye view from the Guinness Storehouse Gravity Bar. ***
Sunset over the Liffey River.
*** Good evening shot of Dublin, complete with statue of O'Connell and the Spire. Apparently the Spire is supposed to represent the New Ireland. For Keisha and I, it was an excellent way to figure out how to get back to are hostel.

"The Dublin Spire is one hundred and twenty metres tall (about 394 feet!), making it by far the tallest structure in Dublin city centre. It is three metres wide at the base and tapers to a 15 centimentre wide beacon at the top. The top section is perforated and lit by small LEDs."
