Dublin day two...

Today I am blogging sitting next to kev in the grass, in the sun, watching kids play and eating lunch in Phoenix park. Does life get any better than this?
We went this morning and did a tour around trinity college in Dublin. The college was founded in the sixteenth century but the buildings themselves were built in the eighteenth century and were amazingly beautiful! The college also houses the book of kells which is about 3000 years old. There is just unbelievable amounts of history here and it is pretty mind boggling. 
Next we walked to the Jameson distillery and looked around, and then to the park for lunch. We have walked about six miles so far today and it's only 1:30! Now we are off to Kevins highlight of Dublin, THE GUINNESS BREWERY! We walked by it on our way to the park and he was giddy. And we fully intend (after the tour of course) to sit in the gravity bar atop the brewery and toast our pints to the Stumps, Dave and the Strapples! We know you guys are as excited about that place as Kevin is :) 
And now we are off, walking again, just enjoying looking at everything... I wish we could post pictures for you all to see, but I'm sure you will see way too many when we get home! Cheers!!!
