IRELAND!

 Awesome Jameson chandelier in our hostel, definitely going to remake this
 beautiful church in Dublin
 bridge connecting two churches
 more pretty churches
 this is inside Dublin Castle, which is still used for government offices
 independence of Ireland
 hallway to the official offices
 chandelier again
 the panel next to the fireplace was originally used to shield women's faces from the heat because it would melt off their makeup, hence the term, "saving face"
 enormous throne
 what was once the great dining room
 ceiling of the Great Hall
 clock tower outside of the Dublin Castle
this was underneath the castle where they excavated to find original parts of the castle, you can still see remains of the walls that were bordered by moats
Fun start to the trip and next we were off to the Guinness Factory!
