Monday, July 11.

Met Tielens at that coffee shop again and headed to the Temple Bar district.

Check out the Guiness truck.

Portal of St Patrick’s Cathedral.

I understand what the plaque says, but the monument seems to have some recent additions.

The Original Temple Bar.

Monument to the children who were never given a chance. They were conveniently disposed of at birth. This was mainly due to poverty. All the writing above the people’s heads are the names of the known ones.

Christ Church Cathedral

Memorial to the victims of the Armenian genocide.

Archway which joins the Dublina to the cathedral.

Yep, it’s an organ.

A great day walking around Dublin. Dinner at Temple Bar before heading back to camp, and Tielens to their hotel. Tielens will join us in Bessie tomorrow on our journey to the south of Ireland.
