Photos: Dublin, Ireland

Continuing along with the big backlog of photos, today we have a series of pictures taken in Dublin, Irleland. Erin, Rory and I went there in late August for a quick visit en route to visit Kristine. It was fast-paced and very Catholic, as all the best things in life are.

Some highlights:

• Oscar Wilde’s long and brilliant career is commemorated by perhaps the gayest statue ever in Merrion Square
• I generally suck at the whole taking-a-picture-of-myself thing, but I think I did a pretty good job with this one. Not shown: the sixteen other attempts which made me look terrible
• During the Dublinia exhibit at the Church of Ireland, Erin and I learned many things. First: Some history. Second: What Irish doctors wear. Third: More history (the black death). Well worth the 12 euros it cost us to get in.
• The sandcastles outside Dublin Castle were perhaps poorly located, but they were also really really cool.
• The Millennium Spike, located just over the river in Dublin, serves no obvious purpose. I liked it because it makes for a sort of nice phallic brotherhood with the City of Toronto, which I now call home.
• The Guiness Storehouse Tour was pretty cool, if only for the neat 360-degree sky lounge at the top. Still, though, when it comes to brewery tours, Keith’s is king.

Up next: London, England.
