Some of the time we just hid in cafes (behind bags) and watched people through the glass. This was particularly true when it was raining or cold.

We did a bit of shopping, but most of the stores were the same chains as the ones in the UK. On Grafton Street, a big shopping street, we found this cute indoor shopping center, which was practically made from glass.


We found this section of pet clothing in a popular store for accessories. I was amazed by just how many pet outfits there were.

We found some nice green spaces, including St. Stephen's Green (pictured here), right in the heart of the city. The university campus for Trinity College was particularly nice, and extremely large given where it is located.


St. Stephen's Green had a nice pond which had lots of leaves of different colors that had fallen off. We had a bit of a game trying to take pictures of the ducks who swam really quickly and just became a blur on the pictures.

We wandered around the city a lot the whole time we were there. This touristy pub is located on Temple Bar, the main street for nightlife (and often expensive prices).


This was part of Dublin castle, of which we could only see a very limited part.

Thought I'd put up a few pictures of Dublin on here. This is O'Connell Street's bridge that crosses the river that goes through the center of town. Of course, that is Victoria. One thing I found interesting is the giant Heineken building in the background, given that Guinness is king in Dublin. The Guinness factory/museum was a bit further out of town and we didn't make it that far.
