Castles and Ink

So many cathedrals and castles. The city of Dublin has so much history it is amazing.  Every where you look there is an ancient wall or cobblestone.  I was savvy enough to stay near the Temple Bar area of town, so I could walk to a lot of the classic sights.

Of course I couldn't leave without a bit of Ireland and what better way than to indelibly mark it on my skin? 

The Dublin Castle was pretty cool even though I never made it inside.  By the time I managed to get over to that side of town it was closed the two days I tried.  However the bread pudding in the cafe.. Good Grief!  Soooo good.  The gardens out back were really cool too. I got a little dizzy trying to follow the maze pattern with my eyes.
