Yesterday, we toured Christ Church Cathedral and the Guinness Storehouse. I learned how to drink a Guinness properly. (And I dare say I made it through nearly the entire pint included in the tour price while at the Gravity Bar atop the storehouse. It appears one must be very precise in the inhaling/exhaling something-something. We went through a whole sensory experience tasting tour to learn that. I kid not.) Today so far, Mama Leanne and I have gone to Penny’s (a department store with scarves!) and Aldi for some goodies to bring back to the states. Now we wait for Emma to arrive before beginning an afternoon of more adventure.
Enough of me talking. How about some photos?
Christ Church – a fixture in Dublin since 1000.
The baptistry.
This is Bishop LINDSAY. Well, his tomb anyways.
How would you like to preach from that pulpit?
Quite impressive in all its gothic state.
Onto Guinness we went.
Ever wonder what the hell hops are? These.
The sensory tasting experience. It was here, with our tiny glasses, that we learned to breathe in through our noses, drink, swallow, exhale through our noses and taste the beer on the front, back, and sides of our tongues. We were also instructed to stand up tall and look towards the horizon. That’s how you drink a Guinness.
The end of the tour was drinking a pint in the Gravity Bar. It was pretty cool; a 360 degree view of the city.
Can I interest you in some bubbly? It’s bubbly bubbliness. And chocolate, not champagne.
there's no place like gnome.
