Culture of Dublin

---

Today is Match day, the Irish football final between Kerry and Tyrone counties. It is also International Peace day; and the last day of our holiday in Ireland. We spent the weekend catching up with touristy things and our quest to see the culture of Ireland. The photos are a summary of what we have found.

This has to be the most fondled statue in the world.

Quest for culture
We left the hotel Saturday morning with our list of things to do. Many things were put on the 'when we come back' list.

Downtown
We retraced out steps, with a better understanding of downtown Dublin.

Cobblestones
How many people have walked over these stones? and for how many centuries?

oConnell Street
Saturday is a busy day for this street. (actually any day is busy)

Pop Culture
In a bookshop on O'Connell street, teens were going wild when two Irish comedians were at a signing event. Is this the up and coming Irish culture?

Rant

Statue
Even the statues seem to be making a point.

Parade
These people paraded down O'Connell street expressing their views.

Pigeons
The pigeons seemed to enjoy the culture below in Temple square.

Ireland
Ah, yes the Clarence. We spent an afternoon in there. I love your comments and am so glad you had a great time in Ireland. I could live there I loved it so much. We'll have lots to chat about when you settle in back home, although it's a long time a way. Where are you off to now??
