Day 2 - Dublin

Article by Iratxe Cea (to be uploaded)

Today it has been a very long intense day. First we visited Paddy’s house for the first time and he told us some interesting facts about Ireland and the Irish History, from the Middle Ages to our days. Then, we went for a great walk through an anusual park called Phoenix Park. There, we saw some kind of animals such as deers, squirrels and magpies.  Finally, we visited the giant cross where the Pope Juan Pablo II met over a million Irish people.

At one o’clock approximately we had lunch and visited the 1916 Memorial. There, we read about that historical and revolutionary time and saw the yatch where the Irish patriots carried over 100.000 rifles and weaponry.

We were supposed to finish at 5 o’clock to have a little free time, but as we ended earlier tan we thought, we had the whole afternoon free to do some shopping. At 7 p.m. we went to Fitzgeralds Bar to listen to some traditional Irish music. However, as there was a really warm atmosphere we decided to take part of it by singing some Basque songs.

To finish or fantastic day we had dinner at another classical Dublines restaurant and went back to the hostel to go to bed, as the following day was going to be even harder.
