Dublin sightseeing


So, for the past 3 days, we've been doing Dublin sightseeing - The Arbour Hill Cemetery, the Museum of Decorative Arts and History (aka Collins Barracks) where there is a reconstructed longboat. We also did ChristChurch Cathedral which is English. I kept hoping my Irish Catholic forbears were not watching. It's kind of a creepy place, but beautiful architecture. At the Temple Bar Trad Festival huge crowds and last night we just gave it up and came back to Howth earlier. We went into a pub for a nightcap and found a powerful session going on. Got to hear wonderful Irish music with no crowds of tourists
