Second Trip to Dublin

On Thursday, we went to Dublin for a second time for a field trip. The first place we went to was Christ's Church, which is the second most important church in Ireland (or so we were told). It was beautiful, and it is my favorite Cathedral I have seen so far.

The legendary Strongbow is buried here 

We got to climb the tower, and this was the view of the Cathedral from the top

This is the bell tower we climbed; I got to ring one of the bells!! They told us that they have more bells than any other church in the world

After that, we went to a museum next door called Dublina. We saw exhibits on the Vikings and the Black Death; it was a little depressing.

This is a statue of Stronbow; I feel like I can't go anywhere here without hearing about Strongbow and Aoife

All of the mannequins here are incredibly creepy; this one scared us to death because it talked and moved when we walked by

We spent the rest of the day walking around the city until it was time for us to go to a play. We met some people who where break dancing in the street that were really nice. One of the girls said she did a study abroad in Georgia!

Goofing around in St. Stephen's Greene

Rachel and I waiting for the play to start

Overall, we had a great time. We didn't get back into Waterford until around 1:30am, so we were exhausted!!
