Quick one on Dublin

We went to Dublin a few weeks ago, so I'm just going to give you a brief synopsis of what we did.

Thursday: Kilmainham jail, the place where the leaders of the 1916 Easter Uprising were "tried" and executed. Also, we went to the Abbey Theater for the play "John Gabriel Borkman." Afterwards, we got to explore/wander/indulge in the Temple Bar area.



Friday: Newgrange, a megalithic tomb. Newgrange was built over 5,000 years ago (older than the pyramids at Giza). The pictures can show how spectacular it was (sorry, not allowed to take pics inside)!


Saturday: Bus tour of Dublin. <--- Very bad. We had a pretty poor guide. Bummer.
Leprechaun museum <--- Very good.

We literally turned into leprechauns!

Sunday: Hill of Tara, the crowning place of the high kings of Ireland (and a pretty sweet place to chase sheep).

Yeah, this is a short one. Dublin wasn't really my favorite city, so I don't really have a ton to say about it.
