Dublin

Had dinner in Doyle's Pub and then walked to the Gaiety Theatre to see Riverdance. What a show it was - absolutely worth seeing. The dancing included flamenco, American tap, Russian folk and the Irish dancers were unbelievable. The speed of their feet beggared belief. The music was great and the costumes stunning. The theatre is also gorgeous, with the most beautiful chandelier I've ever seen in a theatre. When we walked back to the hotel we passed several buskers of different music genres playing in Grafton Street. Still lots of people wandering around after 9.30 this evening.
Some shots of Dublin. The first couple show the beuautiful hanging baskets of flowers outside some of the pubs. The third is a statue of a seaman by the docks and the fourth shows a building with a huge memorial to the 1916 rising on it. The fifth shows the Samuel Beckett Bridge, which was built in South America and was brought to Dublin in tact. It resembles an Irish harp. The final shot is of a preschool near the docks.Read more
