Day 3 Dublin

The best weather day so far. I got up early and went up to a coffee shop and sat there and watched people come to work. I sat there for about an hour just enjoying the morning. Once Sylvia got up and ready we walked up to the Guinness factory and took a tour. It's the best brewery tour I've been on and well worth the $16 admission. It takes about an hour to cover the seven floors before getting to the top observation tower where you get a pint and a fabulous view of the Dublin. On the way back to town we stopped at Leo Burdock's Fish and Chips shop. It's supposed to be the best fish and chips in Dublin and it was very good. After finishing the fish we made plane reservation for the trip to Edinburgh on the 15th. All went well so we walked about town for the 50th time and bellied up to the bar at Kehoe's Pub. It's another famous old pub that is exactly like it was over 100 years ago, and it looked it. The beers tasted good though. We walked around some more and again stopped at the Gin Palace and Porterhouse pubs. We had dinner at Porterhouse and it was pretty good, it's a neat place.We ended the night at the bar next to hotel called Turks Head. I don't know how it got it's name, but it seemed appropriate. Tomorrow morning we pick up a car and leave Dublin and drive 180 miles on the wrong side of the road across Ireland to Dingle.

Those flower stacks are all over Edinburgh too. They're wonderful--I got lots of photos of them last summer.
