We were in Dublin, Ireland in 2010. Our hotel was right across Trinity College. From what I still remember, we went to Temple bar on our first night to have some bottles of Guinness. The next day, we walked on the bridge over River Liffey to O’Connel Street to see The Spire, then took a cab to St. Patrick’s Cathedral. From St. Patrick’s, we walked to Lord Edward Street to The Bull & Castle restaurant for lunch. From there we went to Christ Church Cathedral then to Guinness Storehouse for some more bottles of Guinness and of course to see how it is made and learn about its history.
The following day, we headed north to see the prehistoric monument Newgrange in the County Meath as well as the historic ruins of Monasterboice in County Louth.
The last day was spent strolling around Dublin. We went to St. Stephen’s Green, shopped at the mall right across the park and walked to Grafton Street to see the Molly Malone statue.
It was a short visit, but since then, we have adopted the St. Patrick’s Day celebration in our home. Every 17th day of March, I prepare corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots for dinner and we all deck out in green.
