Storehouse, Hurling, Gaelic Football: Ireland Day 6

First stop this morning was the Guiness Storehouse (Brewery)... We used the DART and Luas train systems (easy, cheap, and fairly fast)... The Storehouse was 7 floors, full of events and info :)





Guinness Fountain



NOTICE TYLER'S SMITHWICKS (NOT GUINNESS! WHAT AN INSULT TO ARTHUR! Lol)

Walked around OConnelly Street and had a drink before heading to Croke Park for some hurling (not to be confused with vomiting, but rather a traditional Irish sport!), an Gaelic football.


What?? What's that my eyes see??? No alcohol at a sporting event?!?! That's right, folks! These Mothers are too hard core - no alcohol allowed into seating area :(


Stopped for dinner after the games at a little pub. Wandered, taking in the surroundings, St.Patricks in full swing now.

PS- According to the Irish, "StPattys" is an American-invented holiday... "St Patricks" is a beloved Irish holiday!! Lol. They are very protective of their dear Saint Patrick... Some of them MAY accept is saying "StPaddy", but no one allows for "St Patty."

"Our Saint Paddy is a noble, dear, man, not an Irish lass Patty!!!" (Insert big American OOPS!!!)

And, so far haven't seen any green beer! Another way Americans ruin foreign holidays, or do the Irish just wait until the actual day (tomorrow) to make the green beer?? (Festivities are about five days here)

On that note, I leave you with this...
