Just enough energy left to spend the day in Dublin

We had just enough energy left to spend a few hours in Dublin before crashing for the day.  We both have been up for 24 hours straight and there wasn't much left.

 

It turns out that the Red Cow is actually a district outside of Dublin where the stockyards used to be.

This is the famous Half Penny bridge.  It is the first iron bridge over the river Liffey, which flows through the center of Dublin. In case you haven't guessed yet the name comes from the 1/2 penny toll you paid to cross.

O'Connell Square in the heart of Dublin... I wonder what the Great Liberator Daniel O'Connell thinks about the secular city his image over looks.

A great place for lunch in Temple Bar.
Well we are off to the hotel for a much needed sleep. Tomorrow we are worshiping at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, and then it's off to spend the day in this ancient capital city. Founded in the year 988 by of all people the Vikings.
