On Sunday we took a trip of about an hour to get to the ruins Neolithic Newgrange . They are great tombs of 5,000 years ago, where a tunnel and dome made of stone, then covered their ground, forming a kind of artificial cave hill. In the case of Newgrange is a very interesting effect, the morning light illuminates the bottom of the cave for a few minutes, only for a few days a year, during the winter solstice. This shows that also served as a large calendar and quite possibly a place of worship, not just as grave.
afternoon we visit the National Gallery and to around Trinity College. Then late night walk through the city. The other big plus of the city is the abundance of bookstores, which honors the literary brand of the city. In some of the references (Shaw and Yeats, for example) I have not read anything, but instead I have high regard for Gulliver's Travels Swift and The Picture of Dorian Gray Wilde . Particular case is that of Joyce, which I liked their Dubliners and Ulysses magna opera, but whose Portrait of the Artist ... I was totally infumable , religious vomit endless and unbearable. Someday I will give an opportunity to Finnegans Wake but still need to recover. Moreover despite the abundance of bookstores and my addiction to pile books, I just brought a pair, the list of outstanding time is too long to keep accumulating.
The "reconstruction" of the facade was made at the time it is extremely unfortunate. There is no indication that the stones found have formed a wall. The cave on the other hand is preserved as long as 5,000 years.
They highlight the large number of stones with abstract designs, as one of the "collections" Neolithic art in the world. For

James, you gave me joy and terror alike. Not clear on which shelf wear.

On Monday we went to Malahide Castle , a half hour of downtown. Has the peculiarity of being in possession of the same family for several hundred Norman years (700-800 approx) very smart rooms, shame that did not stop taking pictures.

But try to see other museums were closed. Were and the last visits. The last day we went to a hotel near the airport for your flight early and return on Tuesday morning.
