more great craic in dublin

so here is the rest of the dublin tour. more pictures, and more humorous comments...i hope.



this is the House of Lords. at least...the old House of Lords. it's pretty impressive looking, but if you look closely at the podium in the back...that's right, this room is smack in the middle of a Bank of Ireland. maybe this is where they wine and dine their uber clients, now. as far as i know, they didn't keep any other room intact, even the house of commons. I asked about that, but the answer was just some mumbling about "...some shed out back" oh well.



this is a tapestry in the previously aforementioned House of Lords (i'm sure you could figure that out, i really just wanted to use the word "aforementioned") it appears to be some sort of battle scene. i'm sure they're portraying the winning side...probably Ireland...but it might be England.



this is Dubling Castle. or what is left of Dublin Castle. this is the only part of the "castle" that still looks castle-ish or old in any respects. i guess Eddie Izzard wasn't talking about Ireland when he was talking about running into castles with his car. oh well.



this is a cool door, that looks like it's from a hobbit hole. see? see? the doorknob is in the center...see? shut up, OK, i like doors.

so, i think this whole blog problem is about how many pictures i can put on one entry. let's test this theory, shall we?
