Dublin Day 2, August 21

We've started the day at the lovely The Loving Spoon. Great food, fantastic decor with the little fairies coming out of the odd spots here and there.

The daily tour started at  St Patrick Cathedral. I guess we are a bit out-cathedraled, after the lifetime off. We found Swift's grave inside the church and the associated memorabilia including several death masks and a cast of this skull the most fascinating.

Next onto the Christ's church. There the kids enjoyed the mummy's of a cat & a rat. We continued walking stopping at the interesting spots. The agenda was no agenda. Just make most of the day and stay out as much as possible while it does not rain.

Tried to make it to Kilmaiham Gaol but they were sold out. Bought the tickets for tomorrow and made our way back to the center for Murphy's.

Finished the day at Fitzsimmons, at the Temple Bar, accompanied by the uplifting live music. Speaking of food, we've also made stops through the day at the Powercourt for a snack & at the Farm for lunch. We did not remember the city having so many awesome food options and there will surely be consequences. Speaking of the spirits, we've been lucky so far with only about 1/2 or 1/4 of the day raining so the spirits are up :)

Today was the day of the eclipse in the US. We enjoy the many pictures we see online and sent by the friends. It seems so far away - almost unreal. Trying to disengage a bit from the work a bit too while we are getting our final break prior to the fall season.
