DUBLIN -- Day 3

Sadly, this post is going to be unfinished, because I still need some pictures from Katie Kero of our evening, but I'll put what I have up now and finish later :)

We were in the Doors of Dublin area, and this was maybe my favorite door. Sadly the light wasn't great out this day, but we made do.

Second-favorite door -- I want a door like this so bad!!

St. Patrick's Cathedral, as seen from afar and on a bus

Still not sure why I took a picture of this -- it was a good chocolate bar, but not the best ever... must just be the cow obsession.

Gorgeous stained glass windows at the back of St. Patrick's Cathedral

This chapel is the oldest part of the church, and was used by the chemistry guy Boyle and his family -- but by moving it, the Lady's Chapel was discovered behind the normal one, so I guess it was necessary to move it, even if Boyle got pissed about it.

The restored floor was gorgeous, so I took a really weird photo of it. You're welcome.

I approve of whimsical children's books retelling classic novels, because they're adorable; hence, the attention this one got. Jonathan Swift (or Dean Swift, as everyone kept calling him) was buried here; hence, why his novel was made into a children's book and is on sale here :)

A long view of St. Patrick's Cathedral

The corner devoted to Jonathan Swift and his grave and one of his lovers

They had hand-painted stained glass on sale, which I nearly bought, until I remembered that stained glass doesn't travel well... :(

I love that ceilings here are so cool to look at :)

That wooden pulpit you see behind our guide's head used to be on wheels. Apparently, Jonathan Swift would deliver his sermons from this pulpit and would wheel around the room, hitting people who tried to sleep during his sermon. I don't like church, but I would've loved to see that.

The Lady's Chapel, set further back from the main area, so women could be religious too. How kind, right?

This was a special piece of stained glass because the top part isn't painted like everything else -- it was actually made out of individual pieces of glass, like Tiffany glass.

Me and Katie getting ready to go to the Jameson film festival premier of "Saving the Titanic"!

 And this is where more pictures go later. Stay tuned!
