Dublin...is cold. And rainy. But beautiful! We arrived this morning at about 7, and buses were running slow because of the holiday so we didn't even get into the city until nearly 10, buuuut we are here now. We spent the day wandering about Dublin- we mainly saw Trinity College and found a couple nice cafes and planned our itinerary for the next few days (yay, castles and old churches and art museums.)
Easter in London was lovely, by the way- we spent the morning going on slides at the Tate Modern, which were SO FUN. The artist's explanation of them was really cool too- the idea is that you see the work from the inside and out, and it creates this feeling of excitement, and he liked to think of what the world would be like if we all went down a slide every day. (It'd be pretty groovy. Especially these slides. They were huge.) Later in the day we found Platform 9 and 3/4 (for all you Harry Potter geeks) and went to music services at Westminster Abbey. Those were lovely! There was such a pretty organ piece (Fantasie Aria by Philip Moore) and the soprano was fantastic. And, for anyone else going to Europe on a budget, going to church services is an excellent way to see the inside of these great churches for free;-)
Hope everyone had a magnificent holiday!
Love,
Sara
