Today was quite a busy one -- and really amazing. There were meetings all morning about Ireland's culture and Galway but after that we were given free passes for a bus tour around Dublin. We went to see St. Patrick's Cathedral, which was really amazing. It felt a little weird because we had to pay to get in and right inside there was a gift shop section -- kind of a disconcerting thing to see in a church. But the inside we very beautiful with plaques telling all about the cathedral. Most of it seemed untouched as well which was neat. After that we took the bus to the Guinness factory, which was awesome!!
At the top there was a bar and we got a free pint of Guinness, my first ever! It was OK ... I'll have to get used to the taste. But the ost amazing part was that the bar at the top was very high up and had a gorgeous view of the city. You could see all of Dublin from up there. We spent a long time just looking out the window, we didn't want to leave.
After that we went to mass at St. Patrick's -- which was very beautiful. The men's choir sang and were just amazing.
St. Patrick's Cathedral (yes, sunny weather!)
The view from the Guinness factory (as the sun sets! Around 4 ...)
