A Hostel, a Pub and a Courthouse

This photo is from our nighttime walk along the Liffey River. According to Erica and Miyoshi, this building is called the Four Courts, and houses the judicial courts. (They got that from a tour guide, who probably knew what he was talking about.) It's quite a grand building, as you can see.
And if you look closely, at the far end of the photo, I think you can make out the pink of the setting sun--at 10:30pm!

This is me, Miyoshi and Erica at the pub in the Bachelor's Walk hotel where we went to see the traditional music and dancing. Obviously, we weren't drinking Guinness--it's a cider of some kind, that was okay. You did have to drink it with some speed, though, or else it got warm and flat and compeltely unappealing.

This was my first room at Jacob's Inn...not much to write home about (or photograph), but I am in a sharing mood. My second room looks pretty similar, so I won't both sharing that! As you can see, they really pack us in. This room houses up to 8 girls, literally head to toe.
I will say this about the hostel, though; the staff have been great--friendly, funny, helpful, even supportive! I'm told that it's a good hostel (I haven't much, or anything, to compare it to), but make your reservations early!
