The Department of Foreign Ministry. This is where we started off our day. This place is used to entertain foreign dignitaries when they visit Dublin. Kings, queens and other heads of states or state officials come here.
This is the interior of the Foreign Ministry. Swanky, eh? We had tea/coffee with a foreign officer of Ireland. Pretty informative.
This was my lunch. Chardonnay and smoked salmon calzone. Damn classy, I say.
We visited Trinity College to see the Book of Kells exhibit, an early Christian manuscript noted for its intricate art and design. No pictures were allowed.
Afterwards, after shopping around Grafton St., we headed back to the hotel to relax and unwind for a bit. Ate some pizza (which I wholly regret) and off we went to see a modern rendition of "The Playboy of the Western World." It was a great play, tons of comedy and very well adapted to fit the current times.
We did not have much free time after the play but a few of the guys went off into a pub and had our first official pub drinks in Ireland. Guinness and Kilkenny for all!
