5/17/12 day 22: Dublin, Ireland

1015 AM room inspection (by the captain, no less). Coffee to go from the mess. Met up w Chris (aka Beast) and Jason (aka Dr Chocolate) my two UK buds, hopped on the coach to downtown Dublin. Walked around Temple Bar area, snapped some photos of churches and Dublin Castle and had a traditional fish & chips lunch with a Guiness. Afterwards we walked north to the main shopping street on the other side of the water, popped in a couple shops, and made it back to the shuttle bus in time for a cup of tea and a nap. It was chilly today; overcast and threatened rain all day. I've got one sweater and my corduroy jacket. Glad I wore them both today.
