Touring the Dublin Castle

Image
 We had a free day in Dublin today.  A group of us went to the Dublin Castle, another group went on a Game of Thrones Tour, and a third went to the Dublin Zoo.  The Dublin Castle is rich with Irish history and is still used for important events today.  The tour started with us looking at some of the old stonework of the castle that was still intact, the Gun Powder Tower.  We saw the stairs and entrance where the supplies for the castle were brought in by way of the moat.  Then we were taken to the Royal Chapel and given a brief history.  The chapel was used for service in the past, but is now used for events such as music, videos, and other events the city holds.  The tour then moved inside of the renovated castle, which now appears as more of a palace than a medieval castle.  We saw the James Connolly room, which was used as a hospital room during the Easter Rising. This was where James Connolly was taken after he was injured, so that he could and then undergo trial for his acts, but

May 3rd, 2017: Arrival/Dublin

Image
After two airplane flights, our group of 26 arrived in Dublin this morning, where we were picked up by our amazing bus driver and tour guide, Jerry. He took us on a bus tour around Dublin to give us all an idea of where places and monuments in the city are. Before arriving to our Hotel, we stopped at Phoenix park and climbed the steps at the cross monument, called the Papal Cross, where Pope John Paul II had held mass at for over a million people in 1979. And although we did not exit the coach to view it, we were able to see the Wellington Testimony (an obelisk over 62 meters tall) while on the road.  Fun fact: the President of the Republic of Ireland also lives in a white house, just like our President back in the States. Both of the “white houses” were designed by the same architect. A fter checking in our hotel, we were on our own for dinner. While it took some of us a bit longer than expected to find a restaurant near our hotel, it gave
