Dublin, Ireland-Part 1

After our road trip along the Irish countryside we made our way to Dublin.  Jeff and I spent the next few days there and Nick and Rachel went to Germany for Oktoberfest.  
Entrance to Dublin Castle.


The cathedral at Dublin castle.

The living quarters at Dublin castle.




Christ Church cathedral.





The oldest pub in Dublin.  We ended up having lunch here, it was lovely.



Jeff had Guinness stew...I had pot roast, no picture of that since it didn't look as good as Jeff's stew.

Jeff and I toured this church, St. Michan's.  The draw is that the tour is of the crypt and there are a few instances you can see a few mummified corpses.  Below the church is limestone, which caused the corpses to mummified since it is so dry down there.  The church doesn't maintain the crypts so there were a few bodies that were out of their coffins.  Jeff actually touched one of them, I guess it is suppose to give you good luck for 1 year.  I passed.
 It was difficult to down there.
Our trip to the Jameson Distillery.




The post office, which is suppose to have bullet holes in the facade.
