We are staying on the western edge of Temple Bar in Dublin.  I’m really quite pleased that we are on the edge of Temple Bar because it would be a lot rowdier if we were in the center.  This is perfect – near the action, but quiet when we come back to the apartment at the end of the day.

The forecast for the day said rain, so we decided to spend the afternoon in the National Museum of Ireland – Archeology. I highly recommend visiting if you are ever in Dublin.  An afternoon wasn’t nearly enough time, so we plan a return visit later this week – but to be fair, we are museum people…

I have no intention of attempting this next one at home.

There was only a hint of rain on our walk to the museum, but by the time it closed at 5:00, the skies had opened. We started to walk back to the apartment, but quickly decided this was a great time for a Guinness.
