So we started off our day with a walking tour around Dublin. It left from City Hall and covered Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin Castle, Trinity College, and St. Stephen's Green, among other things. It was a lot of walking, but it provided a lot of good information about the city.
Afterwards, Maria and I headed to the National Wax Museum. It was okay; I was expecting more. Memorable sights include Smeegal (from Lord of the Rings), Dracula, St. Patrick, and Harry Potter. I finished really fast and thought about getting a drink from Starbucks, but the prices were pretty crazy - 4.55 euros for a small frappuchino? I'll pass....
Melissa was supposed to meet us for a late lunch/early dinner and to watch the football match, but her leg pain flared up again (our bad Irish luck is back again..) so it was just Maria and I. We went to a pub and I got bangers and mash (sausage and potatoes) which was really good - it was a lot of food but I was hungry so it worked out.
Tonight will probably consist of watching the Brazil - Ivory Coast game and relaxing after all the walking we did today. Tomorrow's our last day in Dublin so we'll be finishing up some last minute sites we want to see and souvenirs to pick up!
