Dublin!

We have finally made it to Dublin, which means our trip is coming to an end, alas. But we still have a couple of days to have a great time.
First we went to Trinity College to see the Book of Kells. The Book is an illustrated Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John. It's seriously really cool and very old. This pic isn't of the actual book, but one of the volumes of...something in there that now I can't recall the name of.

This is a library in Trinity College called The Long Room. It has gillions of books and is so cool!
Here is the oldest harp in Dublin. Apparently back in they day, Queen Elizabeth banned harps and had them all destroyed, but this one is from the 15th century and it survived! Good for it. 

Here is the most famous church in Dublin - St Patrick's Cathedral, and its so awesome. 
And here is Dublin Castle. We debated going inside, but honestly I didn't want to spend the money to walk around in an old castle. Again. 

 Here's just St Patrick's from another angle, so impressive.


 Just one more day in Ireland and then the trip comes to a close!
