Dublin - day 2

Another busy day in dublin . First up a great lecture on myths and the landscape of Ireland. Made me want to study here in Dublin. Then on to a madcap tour of the city with stops at the Kilmainham Jail, which was sad and depressing. Just a horrible place to have been locked up.Then on to Trinity College to see the Book of Kells. Such intricate and beautiful work. (I may go back tomorrow to spend more time there) And Lastly a quick tour of St. Patricks Cathedral.
Dublin is so full of history and beauty that it would take much more time than we have to see everything.Tomorrow we're off to the Hill of Tara. Can't wait!
