We caught the shuttle bus into Dublin and walked around a little, seeing a statue of Molly Malone, seeing how long the queues were for the Book of Kells in Trinity College Dublin, checking out a gift shop or two. We did wander into the Natural History Museum.

I don't like big cities. They are oppressive to me, particularly unfamiliar big cities. I feel dislocated and lost. There seemed to be a lot of beggars but you don't have to go to Ireland to find those down and out.
