After a long flight, the group was exhausted but there was a big,
fun-filled day ahead of us! We joined our tour guide, Seamus, for an
introduction to Dublin. It was awesome to see the different architecture of the
city compared to New York. We were able to view the President's house in Phoenix
Park. To finish up the tour, we stopped at a nice street to walk around for
shopping and lunch. We observed the locals rushing to work as we leisurely
strolled through the pedestrian walkway. After a scrumptious sandwich, we
walked into cute little shops. We then proceeded to the hotel to check-in and
freshen up for the afternoon tour. Once back on the bus, we headed into
medieval Dublin where we walked to the oldest city wall built in 1240AD. Next
we learned about the history of Christ Church, the concert venue for tomorrow!
It was interesting to listen about the Vikings and how they built their homes.
We experienced typical Ireland weather, there was light mist throughout the day
so good thing we were prepared! The group had a nice welcome dinner at the
hotel and celebration for our birthday girl, Ashley! At 9:00 we called it a
night to get some much needed rest for another full day of touring and ringing!
