A few photos

Before Deirdre and I head out for a night on the town, I thought I would throw a few photos up from today's adventures.

 

The Spire of Dublin.  This monument was erected in 2003 on the old site of Nelson's Pillar which was destroyed by a bomb in 1966.  The Spire maintains a metal look during the day, but at dusk appears to merge into the sky.

 

 A hand full of Irish Barley at the Guinness Storehouse

 

 

Mmmmmmmmmmmm

 

 

The River Liffey which runs through central Dublin.  Contrary to popular belief, it does not supply the water for the Guinness brewery.

 

 

One of the many pubs on Temple Bar street.

 

Trinity College, home of the Book of Kells.  The book contains the four gospels of the new testament and was created by Celtic monks ca. 800 or slightly earlier.
