Ireland: Walking Tour

Colin and Zoe! These two together are a hoot, if you couldn't tell.
 On our walking tour through Dublin, the clouds rolled in and overtook the blue skies, this picture I thought was awesome and very telling of the weather in Dublin.
 Jim Larkin, the leader of the 1913 Lockout. This statue is on O'Connell Street on the North side of Dublin.  We went to see The Risen People, a play preformed at the famous, Abbey Theater, and it was an amazing telling of the 1913 Lockout.
 O'Connell Street

 The House of the Mayor of Dublin
 And his awesome blue door.


 This man was the President of Trinity College in Dublin, and when the college was first founded, no girls were allowed to study there. And the President said that girls could study here only over his dead body. So, when he died, he was cremated and his ashes buried under the entrance of Trinity college, so when girls first entered the college, they literally entered over his dead body. This photo was photobombed by Tessa.
 The National Bank of Ireland, Obama has been here!
 The podium, the chandelier is made out of 206 pieces. It is gorgeous.
  
This doesn't really go along with the walking tour, but Zoe and I love to go to Goose on the Loose, especially for lunch. They have a student discount and the soup, crepes, and omelettes are divine!
