July 21: We got up and went to catch a tour around town. First we hopped off at Trinity College and saw the book of Kells which is a book of the four gospels. It was written in early the 9th century, using  around 180 calf skins. The writing was very elaborate with colourful detailed drawings. We also walked around the college. Then we went to Dublin Castle and got a tour of the place.  
Queen Elizabeth II came to that castle for the first time only last year. It had been the first royal visit in 100 years. We walked to the Guinness Storehouse where we had a good view over Dublin and listened to some live music. In the picture I am holding my mum's beer so she could take the picture. Actually I had a lick of the foam on top and it was disgusting. After that we came home got ready and went to see Riverdance! It was so amazing and energetic. I want to be in Riverdance. Came home and worked on the blog.
