When I Go Down to Dublin Town

Door, Downtown Dublin

I’m still a bit behind due to the two days that I wasn’t able to get online…

After Dover, the next stop was Dublin, Ireland. I was looking forward to this stop because I had not been to Ireland before. We arrived early on Sunday morning and the town seemed rather dead. However, within a few hours the whole city was bustling. Apparently a lot of the activity was centered about a big game of Irish football (whatever that is…it’s some kind of cross between soccer, rugby, and hurling). Most people in town were dressed in either red and white or green and yellow - depending on which team they were rooting for.

We took a tour around the city, with the main stops being St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Trinity College.

My overall impression of the city was not too favorable. It seemed…well…dirty. The town is bisected by the River Liffey, which looked really awful…like sludge almost.

We left Dublin in the evening and headed for Belfast, Northern Ireland….
