City Tour
After lunch was a brisk city tour by bus. Pretty good way to see the city overall. Most have live tour guides and here in Ireland they tend to be REAL funny. The tour takes a few hours but stops at certain points. This was great since we got off at Dublin Castle for a great tour. It covered all the government apartments, historical painting and all. Amazing stuff!
Jail where the leaders of the Easter rebellion were executed:
Across the street was the castle entrance to the museum of modern art. The lawn there was covered in greeny, hard to see much in the way of the place. I bet it's a sight past the trees.
Next was Houston station, named for one of the leaders of the 1916 revolution and used in part for filming the 'Great Train Robbery'.
Two more bad puns later ("There's the grave of the guy who invented the crossword, the grave right by that tree, just two down and three across.") from the driver, we arrived at Phoenix Park. Twice as large as Cental Park in New York or five times as large as Hyde park in London.
After that came the decorative Museum of Arts, it was built from an old army barracks. Outside was several stone sculptures and arrangements a person could walk through.
After that came worse puns, then the judicial building. A massive structure, as big as the cathedrals!
The tour bus!
Finally we stopped off at a pub called 'Flannagan's' for dinner, which for me was Irish Stew!

Mom and I ate at Flanagan's on our last day in Ireland! Loved the Lasagna.
We didn't try the lasagna though I got REAL partial to the Beef and Guiness pie or the lamb stew. We actually were there enough to be called regulars by the staff!
