Christ Church Cathedral Dublin

Vandag het ons geleentheid gehad om meer van die geskiedenis van Dublin en die verspreiding van die evangalie in Ierland te hoor. Die Book of Kells is 'n versameling van die 4 evangelies wat Latyn op lamsvel geskryf is en pragtig met kleur en goue inlegwerk versier is. Ons het ook een van die enigste oorblywend Ierse Harpe (die nasionale embleem) …

Our day began with a tour of Dublin with a local guide who took us by bus around the city and showed us many of the principal sights of interest.

Our tour went through the Georgian Town Houses, Fitzwilliam Square, Marian Square, the Oscar Wylde statue, the National Gallery, Leinster House, the Natural History Museum, the President's Office …

Day 9 started out very slowly and sluggishly because we drank so much last night! Katie, Lauren and I decided to do some souvenir shopping. We went into the Temple Bar district and found a great little store called the Irish Celtic Craft Shop. I hadn’t bought any souvenirs yet so I decided to get my shopping done. I bought my grandmother a …

After a full day of flying, we arrived in the Dublin airport at about 8:00 in the morning. We were tired, but decided to power through the day and not sleep until that night. After waiting for over an hour to get through customs, we emerged into the misting grey of Dublin town, ready to see the sights of the city. We caught a shuttle bus to the …

Yesterday we took day 1 of the Dublin tour on the hop-on hop-of bus. There are so many things to see that one can't tour them all. We toured Christ Church Cathedral which is Church of Ireland. It was built in 1030 and refurbished in 1870 at a cost of 300,000 million euros. Today it costs 4000 per day to operate. Of course it has many old tombs, …

Okay - so I lied. There's still more to post about Dublin.

My friends Guilia and Kim left this morning, as the Congress is over, but my Dad swung by the hostel and we've been hittin' up the city as bona fide tourists. *Insert general gurgling noises of disgust*

However, t'was quite fun. We had booked a tour of the countryside to …

Sorry that I am a day late on this post but the internet connection at our hotel is a little spotty so this is actually the first time I have been able to make a connection. This is our second day in Dublin, Ireland and to say the least we are all a bit more energized and awake then the first day we landed in Dublin. Our landing was a bit rough but …

The weekend of Jan. 20, a group of six of us went to Dublin to celebrate our friend Gonzalo's birthday! He has seen a lot of Europe, but Dublin was one of the cities he had yet to visit!

Dublin was amazing! The food and the people were awesome, as well as all the sights. We even got nice weather - two sunny days, although it was still …

We have made it to Ireland safely! Our 7 hour flight went quicker than I imagined even though I never slept. We arrived in Dublin at 8a and made it to our apartment around 11a (5a - Minnesota Time). I was exhausted and just wanted to sleep... but, our apartment wasn't going to be ready until 2:30p! So we put our luggage in lockers and began to …
