| Today was much more eventful than the past two. Gregg flew in around 9, family talked mostly about sports for a bit, then Mom, Em, and I took the train into Dublin around 11. I enjoy a good train ride and really wish that America had a system like Europe's. It won't happen for various reasons, but it sure would be nice. We must've walked for 4 hours, but we did see a good deal. First, we went to a riverside market/mini carnival with small boutiques and a carousel ride, with a hilarious sign that will be on facebook. After that, we gazed upon a group of statues depicting the potato famine...also a hilarious pic that will be on facebook. Next we hit the main shopping district, which was very similar to Copenhagen's. Street vendors, department stores, small stores, and street performers. I did manage to pick up my remaining gifts for Gregg and Emily. We also saw random monuments dedicated to various figures of the Irish Rebellion and several old buildings with neat architecture. Tomorrow I think we are going on some official tours rather than just walking around Dublin. |
