My weekend!


Well, it was another great weekend in Dublin! My dad was here to visit, and it was Culture Night on Friday, so there was much to do!

Oh Ireland...

This is me on a tour of Leinster House - the Irish parliament building.

Trinity College! - My dad and I went here to see the Book of Kells! (a lavishly decorated copy, in Latin, of the four gospels - produced in the early 9th century)

St. Patrick's Cathedral (built in the early 13th century)

Enjoying the view from the pew...

The cathedral is associated with St. Patrick because he is said to have baptized people at a well that once existed alongside the church.

Dad on Grafton St. - one of the main streets in town


Our hike along the cliffs in Howth Village!

We reached the top with no rain in sight!


Our walk back to the village. 5 km roundtrip! (more exercise than I've done all month. hehe)


More pictures soon!
