Well, it's the end of our trip and we're in Dublin for our final night. What better way to say "adieu" than hit up the Temple Bar area for a couple of pints and some live music. Also known as a Pub Crawl. I doubt it'll be bad enough where either of us are actually crawling, but we're planning for a good time.
Today we shopped (post-Christmas deals are good!) so if you're lucky, you're on our list for Irish souvenirs. :o) This morning, however, we went to the Chester Beatty Library which holds some incredible ancient texts, including some of the original copies of Paul's letters to Corinthians, Romans, Galatians and several copies of the Gospels (c.200AD). They're on little scraps of a linen-type paper and it's amazing to think how even those scraps survived for almost 2000 years. It was absolutely incredible. We had lunch with a friend of Liz's at the Irish Bible Institute and learned that less than 2% of Irish people are considered Evangelical Christians. Pretty staggering numbers.
We had a little mix-up with our B&B vouchers so we're roughing it at the Clontarf Castle. (we got a smokin' deal. Thank you Orbitz.) We'll post a video later tonight that we think is quite funny. :o)
Cheers!
