Fall Break Day 4 - Dublin

15 October

Monday morning I went off to explore Trinity College and it's magnificent library.

The library houses many treasured manuscripts, one being the Book of Kells - an illustrated copy of the Gospels from the 800s. It also boasts of having the oldest (Gaelic) harp.
The library itself is just magical - for nerdy types like me. They're quite proud of it, so much so that they don't allow pictures inside - thus I'm stealing this one off the internet.

On my way back I took some pictures of the Dublin spire... 

...and James Joyce. 

Braeden, Kelsey, and I picked up some sandwiches and went for a picnic in St. Stephen's Green to take in the beautiful day.

That night we went to a production called the Irish House Party, which was a delicious traditional Irish meal followed by a concert by an Irish band featuring the Uilliann Pipes, Harp, Accordion, Fiddle, Guitar, and a dancer.
