A medley of photos!

This weekend was my explore Dublin, poke about in museums weekend. So far it's been going well. Friday I made it my goal to get to the Dublin Theater Festival box office in Temple Bar, which I did, there and back in about four hours. Had I been walking there direct it would probably have taken me an hour and a half total, but I meandered, and I walked through St Stephen's Green, and the arcades and architecturally gorgeous shopping centres between here and there, and took many photos. Saturday I spent wandering the National Gallery, seeing things I didn't see the first time, and then going to Ivanov. Today I'm going to the National Museum of Archeology* and then to see Hibiki. Hot damn, but do I feel cultured.



This is the bridge near my apartment.



And this is St Stephen's Green, my new favorite park:









And this is Trinity, from the tour Lee and I took.



And our favorite musicians on Grafton street, this amazing quintet. I have a video, too (see below):



And this is St Stephen's Green shopping centre, which was built in the Victorian era (can you tell?) and is the prettiest mall I have ever seen. I am also inordinately fond of this photo.



And coming back through the green--you can see things changing colour for fall.







And this is the video of the Grafton street quintet that we like so much, playing La Traviata. It's short, just about forty seconds. Ignore the fact that it changes to side view halfway through, please...this is me learning my camera's capabilities. And being a little stupid. Oh well.







* I would just like to register my continued annoyance that the Dead Zoo is closed. I mean. What? It's for repairs, okay, but it's been closed since July. If I miss it....rrrargh.
