David in front of our hostel. We stayed in a little area outside of the city(the area was very similar to the Pearl District in Portland). It was really fun to go into the neighborhood pub and have a drink with the locals and listen as the old men talked Irish politics.
Trinity College Grounds
This is on the grounds of the Dublin Castle. A fully furnished and open castle--it was really neat to run around the grounds.
St.Patrick's Cathedral was so lovely with the sun shining down directly behind it.

This pub was really fun to be at: live music, a full bar, and great people to chat with. The best part about it was all of the people taking photos of the outside (it is a landmark in Dublin, but we didn't know that until we came home and Googled it) and we spent a good portion of our time inside laughing at the people outside taking a picture of this legendary bar.
The Porterhouse Brewery had really great microbrews and it was fun to taste some of their local beers, each with a different flavor.

On our way home from Malta we flew into Dublin and spent 2 nights seeing the sights of the city and listening to the wonderful voices of the Irish people!
We really loved both the city and the people, but we had a bit of shock when we stepped off of the plane into the 2 degree temperatures—a far cry from the 25 degree weather we had been in for the past 5 days!
What a wonderful end to our vacation away from Germany.
