More Pictures

Here's another group of pictures for your enjoyment...fresh from today's travels to the National Museum of Ireland: Decorative Arts & History, and the (HIGHLY disappointing and expensive) National Wax Museum.

Also wanted to throw in a picture of the Luas Red Line map so you can see our daily route...
Brenda's house is a ten minute walk from the Fortunestown stop (far left) and on the days when we want to head into the city, we ride the line to either the Jervis or Abbey Street stop. Both are in the heart of the city. One way takes about 40 minutes. 

The following nine pictures are from the National Museum of Ireland (Decorative Arts & History branch)



Mennonite?

The only realistic looking wax figure in the whole stinkin' museum

Ten Euros later...in the gift shop...this pretty much sums it up.
