Dublin Castle

Kelsey, Alex, and I took the DART to Dublin and visited Dublin Castle. We stopped in Quizno's first to grab a sandwich and water. I am increasingly appreciative of the availability of free water in the US. There's none of that here! Usually at least 1 euro for a bottle. Also, most places do not have free restrooms. You can only go if you have purchased something. Tricksy, tricksy they are!

Any readers of The Hunger Games? Check out the sign I found.

Dublinia Gardens. The name Dublin was named after a "black pool" in this garden. Thus, Dublin literally means "black pool."

 

Seeing the small church on the castle grounds was my favorite.

The four people depicted on the bottom are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, four of Jesus' disciples.
