We got to sleep in today, even the kids did; and then we marched out into Dublin. We finally got Irish weather for a few moments as it drizzled as we walked across the nearest bridge. We walked up and down the streets, ate lunch at Temple Bar (seems like the Irish call every place to eat, a bar).
We went to St. Patrick's Cathedral where Patrick baptized the first Christians in Dublin, maybe prior to 500 AD.
After more walking, a pigeon experience (see Madi's account of this), and a few souvenirs, we attended a Choir Song Service in Christ's Church - it was very formal and yet beautiful, although I love our services much more.
Dublin, and Ireland, for that matter is a very fun and friendly place. There is music playing in the streets, amazing architecture, great history; we'd love to stay here for longer.
Now the driving in Dublin is like solving the Rubik's Cube. Drive on the wrong side of the road, one way streets all over the place, I don't know how we have survived except for God being gracious and answering your and our prayers. :)

Glad you guys have been able to make your way around the city...sounds confusing to me! (Maybe Mike would do well at it since he can solve the Rubik's cube.)
