There are One Million Five Hundred Thousand inhabitants in Dublin and\u00a0that does not include the tourists……add two more.\"DSCN1521\"<\/a>The city is filled with buses, people, flowers,\"DSCN1538\"<\/a>interesting buildings\"DSCN1523\"<\/a>and history,\"DSCN1541\"<\/a> lots of it…,\"DSCN1544\"<\/a>…none of which we remember from our (hop on\/hop off) tour! \u00a0We visited every corner of the city, trying to absorb while catching photos. \u00a0We will attempt to properly label a few.<\/p>\n

Of course,\u00a0a trip to Dublin is not complete without a tour (and required tasting)\"DSCN1616\"<\/a> of the 50 acre Guinness plant. \u00a0The view of the city\"DSCN1619\"<\/a> from the 151 foot high Gravity Bar is impressive.\"DSCN1614\"<\/a>Had to drag one of us out,\"DSCN1530\"<\/a> and we escaped from the very large store with only one small souvenir,\"photo-6\"<\/a>\u00a0hope it fits in the driveway.<\/p>\n

After dinner we strolled the streets enjoying the various bands on every street\"DSCN1659\"<\/a> and bars on every corner. \"DSCN1662\"<\/a>\u00a0Interesting city, Dublin…… more\u00a0photos below of what we saw of this very lively city.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
