Dublin--Part 2

While we were waiting for the next bus we heard some drumming and you know what that means! We had to discover the source! There was a cool shopping area that was originally a street but is now closed off for pedestrians. The drumming was from some guys playing the
pots!




Also, a bit further down we heard some flute music and saw a girl about 10 years old doing some Irish dancing. So awesome!!






On our way to the bus stop we saw this statue of Molly Malone--you know "selling cockles and mussels, alive alive-o". Dad still doesn't know who she is. We couldn't get a picture without people sitting all around her.


Our next stop was Dublin Castle. We took some pictures but didn't take the tour.



Here is the gate entrance to the castle.






Here is the castle from the parking lot. The ornate part is a chapel with stained glass windows. We couldn't take pictures inside, but it was gorgeous.
We walked back out to the bus stop and headed for our next stop.
