Oct 14th Dublin

 Today we woke up pretty late... no surprise there I guess, since we were up the about equivalent of 2 days..

  We managed to get to our viking splash tour on time by catching a scary bus..

The bus itself was very nice actually.. I'm just scared of buses.


 


We put on our horned helmets and roared at the passerby (the celts) and we took a little tour of the city with a bit of history and a few groan worthy eye rolling jokes thrown in..

                                                             
Saw a lot of places that U2 have been, saw the same for Jonathan Swift.  Our bus, a DUKW then went INTO the lake and took us in a quick circle before dropping us back off by Grafton street - shop central!











 We went to a mall,  had lunch/dinner at "the kitchen" and on a dare, I tried on a 600 euro dress with some 1/2 off shoes -they were only 15 0.    



  We bought me a ring, since I left my favorite one at home, and had more guinness at a little pub. A pint of guinness every day keep the doctor away?




Well, it does seem to be helping my knee.. I hurt it before we left, and today, barely a twinge. I think I must have sprained it? I still couldn't do any handstands yet today, so Morgan did one for me.



 Also we decided that it would be a good idea to name a child Phileas Fieval Engel. So we could say that his name was Philly...AND Fieval. American tale fans will understand.



Tomorrow our plan is to take a Guinness Factory tour -which will take care of our daily Pint quota, and then see a viking museum, go back to to kitchen to see ifI lost my gloves there, and then pick up the resized ring -for my beefy finger, rent a car, and then head to Kilkenny! Medieval center of ireland! Yay! 









More architecture pictures headed your way folks, so prepare!
