Dublin: Day 2--Ha Penny Bridge and Christ Church Cathedral

Second day out sight seeing in Dublin....well, at least I think it is the second day! It's all beginning to blur just a little...oh wait, I think that's why I tried to journal this year...so I would remember what we did. One flaw in the plan...where is there time to journal when on a trip? :-)

The Ha (pronounced "hay") Penny Bridge



Anne-Marie and I on the bridge


Melissa and Anne-Marie


As we walked to our next destination, we saw some beautiful buildings...I just love the stone buildings there so forgive me for the many, many more random pictures of stone buildings over the next several posts! :-)



Everywhere we went in Dublin, we walked. Why use public transportation when you can walk all over the entire city!!? Actually, it was more fun to walk because we got to see so much more that way!

Our next destination was...Christ Church Cathedral, a beautiful church founded in 1030. It was beautiful!


Christ Church Cathedral








The building needed a little help standing so Anne-Marie
and Melissa did what they could to help out!



A beautiful door
(don't mind the shadow..we were so thankful for a sunny day!)


Inside the Cathedral



The tile floors were beautiful!


Anne-Marie, Melissa and I





Beautiful Pipe Organ



Door to the "basement"..more like catacombs!



They got punished for too much fun on a holiday :-)


Where should we go next?!


It was time for lunch so we headed across the way to a famous and incredibly yummy fish and chips place. It was sooo good!

I'll write more soon to bring you the afternoon portion of Day 2 in Dublin!
