A bit surprisingly, the tours of the historic Irish jail were full into mid-afternoon, so we changed plans and wandered around the building where the Modern Art Museum is. We found a cool cafe and enjoyed a brief respite after a fairly long walk in the cold.
Next we headed to the Guinness Storehouse for the ever popular tour of the history of the beer maker and of course, a pint at the end of the tour in a room with scenic views of Dublin. I was surprised that I liked Guinness better than I expected - pretty smooth and creamy. We helped to stimulate the Irish economy in the gift shop to help us extend our memories back in the States.
It's so nice to have a landing spot to recharge and make our next plans. Sean came in from work and we headed out to a hole in the wall...no really, we dined at Hole in the Wall, an authentic Irish restaurant. Highlights included more breaded fish and chips, bread pudding, and tales from both our day and Ryan's Rose Bowl trip. The evening closed with a planning session for our day tomorrow, when we plan to head out to Kilkenny to see some Irish countryside.
