Green Charm

by agarcia - last update: May 26, 2004

St. Patrick's Parade
Dublin had an interesting effect over me during my first (and definitely not last) visit. After a couple of hours of walking over the touristy areas, I get terribly bored. All those cathedrals, parks and castles didn't impress me nor amazed me, so you can say I was kind of disappointed.

So I rested for a while surrounded by the tranquility of St. Stephens Green, trying to decide witch of Dublin's hundreds of pubs will become my starting point for the Guinness immersion, when I paid attention to the people. Their easy smile and spontaneity really deserved to be explored.
Crazy about Paddy

Paddy's day!

Lucky me I did it! Thanks to that, I can say I had the time of my life in Dublin, and I could really enjoy the fabulous Irish music, the scents of the city and the lovely taste of a good pint of Guinness.

Even the weather was benign during those days, so I even was able to been part of St. Patrick's Day parade. Yes, I'd just said been part, as I manage to walk along Dublin bustling streets during the parade covered up as a photographer ;-)

Pros:"Live Irish music, plenty of Guinness and the Dubliners"
Cons:"The only reliable transportation system of the city is your own feet"
In A Nutshell:"Enjoy it till the last drop!"

 Alfredo - Some of the most beautiful parts of Dublin are in the suburbs and are easily accessed by the DART. These include Malahide, Howth and Killiney. regards SK

 Alfredo, you have done a very good Dublin page. I, too, loved St. Stephen's Green. I found the people in Dublin to be very friendly and polite. I hope to go back.
