Sadly enough, my journey has come to an end. I'm off to the airport in a few minutes so this may not be a very long post. I'm definitely not ready to leave yet, as I told most of the geocachers at the geocaching event last night. I will be back!
Yesterday I took a tour of the Kilmainham Gaol which is a pretty amazing place. The history of the place alone makes it worth visiting. On the tour we learned that during the famine, a lot of people imprisoned there had done only minor things such as steal four loafs of bread. Living in prison offered a better life for some of these people since it meant food every day and a roof over their head. The prison is also used today for filming a lot of movies, including In The Name Of The Father, Michael Collins, etc.
After that I headed down to the shopping district to get a few last minute goodies. Then I met up with some geocaching friends for a nice afternoon/evening meeting a lot of local-ish cachers. Many had come over to Dublin just for the day or the weekend. It was very nice meeting all of them.
Well, I need to get going! Like I said, I will have to come back!
