Dublin--The Final Destination

Today we headed for our final destination on this trip. That of Dublin, Ireland. This will be our second time to this city and we are looking forward to it as much this time as we were the first. We decided to take the bus from Belfast to Dublin for two reasons. First, it was only eight pounds a person versus forty on the train. Second, it dropped us off two blocks from the apartment we are staying in while we are in the city.

Here was our ride to Dublin.

We arrived in Dublin and checked into our cute little apartment right downtown by the river. We had just enough time to walk to our evening activity. Our walk took us through some pretty yet typical Dublin sights.

Here is a Dublin pub all decorated. Not sure if it is for the World Cup or just because, but they sure do have it done up right!

The pub was open, but as it was only about 4pm things were pretty quiet since things don't get going until later in the evening.

This is the pedestrian street in Dublin called Grafton Street. It is filled with shops (of many different price levels) and restaurants. Even in the rain it was pretty busy.

We finally arrived at The Gaiety Theater which was our destination to see Riverdance. We were so excited as we figured what a better place to see it than where it really came from?

The inside of the theater was really cute, and the theater was tiny.

The show was absolutely AMAZING! We were impressed by all the dancers and the musicians. 

It was a great way to start our time in this great city!
