Saturday in dublin: success!

After a wearing Friday, we needed Saturday to be better.

We all ate breakfast at the Ritz, which is always so fancy. Then we talked to the concierge and planned our day differently. We went by tram instead of train and bought tickets to the hop on hop off Dublin tour buses.

We started our afternoon at a public talk at the Archeology National Museum, which was interesting but slightly long and filled with local, cultured people. Then we did a 180 and headed to the Guinness storehouse. It was not a very interactive brewery tour, but the 360 bar after the tour, overlooking the city was spectacular!!

The jail was closed by this point, and it gets dark by 5... So we had dinner at the temple bar area and stopped into McDonalds after for a latte. Yesterday was cold, but very manageable compared to Friday. We did a little,e gift shopping, the returned back to the hotel. Much of the day is in the car, bus, or tram. We ended the night in the small town pubs- overall, excellent day.

Back into Dublin today for the last time of the trip. Time has flown by!
