Dublin

Just back from a week in Dublin and London, which is why things have been quiet around here for the last week.



This was my first time in Dublin, so I did all the touristy things like the Guinness Brewery and the Temple Bar District, as well as exploring some of the neighborhoods outside the city center. You have to love a city that has a statue of Phil Lynott a few blocks away from statues of James Joyce and W.B. Yeats.



In the post-EU era, Dublin is more of a European city than an Irish one. I didn't hear much Gaelic being spoken, but heard lots of French, Spanish, German, and Eastern European languages. Genuine Irish people were hard to find, but the combination of cultures makes it an interesting place to visit for a few days.

There are a few photos uploaded to flickr with more to come.
