Downtown Dublin - It is as if time stood still.

Time stands still  in downtown Dublin.   Cobble stone  roads,  historical buildings filled with
amazing  shopping.   When enjoying the city, it is hard not to admire the architecture even if  it usually isn't something you notice.   Huge stonework,  bonnets over doors and  if I could put it into just one word , it would be historical.

The streets are crazy busy, this shot was an odd one, most streets are filled with more people than I would  expect in New York City. Everwhere we went, we were bumped into, hip chucked or even elbowed. I didn't enjoy parts of it... but  because I was so mesmerized by the buildings  and the amazing accent of people we met. I soon forget the crowds and all its unpleasant moments.

If even in Ireland, take a tour down O'Connnal Street, Grafton street and college.  So much in just a relatively small area, worth a  few moments of your time.

Lastly, I should mention although we had a rental car downtown is not something a new driver should tackle. So, we took the " hop on , Hop off bus".  Drivers are  aggressive to say the least, the braking was scary if you were not holding on for dear life.   Affordable, you bet.. just a few dollars per ride.    I will note that you can't just get on one and it wil take you back, we had a bit of a hard time  finding the one that will take you home was not easy, infact we had to walk quite aways  to figure it out.  OK, so we might not have done it on our own, kind people were most helpful in helping us get the right one.
