Albert's memorial.

lots of Santas. This is downtown Picadilly Circus. There must have been at least 200-300 Santas all standing around drinking.
Dreams come true!

Dublin Day
The door from 7 Eccles Street, where Leopold Bloom was suppose to have lived. In 1904, the dublin directory has it recorded as vacant, so Joyce could put any one living there on June 16, 1904.
Staute of Joyce in Dublin square
Guinness in Dublin. Had about 4 of them. They were amazing.
Plague of a quote from Ulysses. It the beginning of the Chapter, Lestroygonians, where Bloom takes a walk around Dublin that has been meticulously planned by Joyce. All the streets and shops it mentioned were real. But they changed since then.
One was a foot locker
Dublin National Library, where the Syclia and Charydbris epsiode takes place.
Oscar Wylde's house.
The chemist's shop, Sweny's, where Bloom buys soap for Molly.
5 of us walked in and they offered us tea. It was wonderful. Such a sweet shop keeper.
We went to the bar that I did my report on. It really was a local a spot. All the locals had heard of it, and it really felt like a local pub. They all gave us dirty looks. But whatever. That means that we know what's up.
