Day 14: Dublin

Today we did a little touring and a little shopping. We started out at Avoca, Ireland's own Anthropologie. And then we visited Carroll's, which had lots of little Irish tchotchkes. Then we crossed O'Connell bridge to the Daniel O'Connell statue (my mother was an O'Connell before she became a Gallagher), walked along the River Liffey, through Temple Bar, and then over to the Guinness warehouse where we learned more than you would ever want to know about making beer and Guinness in particular. After the tour, we ended up in the bar on the top floor for a pint and a great view of Dublin. From there, the kids and Kevin hit the playground again while I perused Kilkenny, an store that promotes Irish artists and designers. For dinner, we ate random stuff out of the fridge since we are heading home tomorrow.
