Old Buildings

The Book of Kells is believed to have been written in the year of 806 and is housed in the Ground floor-underground-of a library built between 1712 and 1732. Entrance to Trinity College

graduate you'll fail your exams. Our tour guide had exams in a few weeks

All these multi-painted buildings are awesome...

There are little alleyways with shops everywhere....

Clondalkin Lookout Tower-we came across this walking around looking for a church to attend. We never found the church but found a few towers.

First Day at Apartment

We arrived at the apartment around 9:30am and were planning on leaving our luggage in the lobby until our room was ready. It was already ready and we got a bit of sleep. Yahoo!





Great kitchen when you want to make small meals, or if you want to "keep up" on your laundry everyday (the washer/dryer is the corner appliance with the door in the front).








Mommy (and daddy) getting some sleep the first morning in dublin. Kids got their first taste of Irish TV.
