...Walked through the Temple Bar area to Dublin Castle. Norman King John ordered it's building in 1204. For 700 years Dublin Castle was the seat of power for British Rule over Ireland. Today and ever since 1938 all Irish Presidents are inaugurated here. A lovely Irish 'lass' took us on a one hour tour. After visiting the Castle, we had worked up a thirst. What would a trip to Dublin be without a visit to the Guinness Brewery at St. James Gate. Arthur Guinness bought 4 acres of land here in 1759 and since that day the brewery encompasses some 65 acres. Guinness Stout is served in over 150 countries around the world. At the completion of our (self guided) tour, you are asked (or more to the point, invited) forward to learn th art of pouring a Guinness. This was fantastic fun and a good laugh. Needless to say, both Airo and myself are now qualified in the correct procedure. Cheers, Arthur!
