The stones at Descanso. I like to balance on them. Turns out they’re actually here for contemplation or something.

160729skybaratguinnessThe Sky Bar at the top of the Guinness factory is very crowded. I may or may not be in this picture.

I know a lot about how to make beer now, but Mom wouldn’t let me have a Guinness T-shirt.

160726rockofcashelgirloncliffThe Rock of Cashel was awesome, and you could climb around on the hills just outside the abbey. The view was spectacular, but I got stung by some nettles. Ow. Do you suppose they would have repelled invaders?

St. Patrick baptized his first king here.

160722stephensgreenThe second half of our group got here today and we walked around a bit. Here’s Aunt Jen, Aunt Kim, and Uncle Joe. Grandma was pretty tired from the flight, so she’s back at the apartment. Cousin Joe is around somewhere.

We went to the Museum of Natural History. I saw lots of Viking stuff, but didn’t want to go in to see the bog bodies. Scary.

This is St. Stephen’s Green.

160710purplebeltSensei Crystal presenting me with my purple belt.

It’s funny, because most of the kids who get purple are 12, and after they’ve had purple for a while, they start going to the grown-up class.

But I’m a little short for that. I guess I’ll just keep training.
