Museums.

Today we went to a bunch of museums. We first stopped at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. I think we lasted about ten minutes tops. I had apparently forgotten (since we left London) that I completely distain modern art. Well, most of it anyway. So not completely completely... just the majority of the time.

Then we went on this crazy tour of the old prison, where everyone from the 1916 rebellion was executed. Our tour guide was awesome. We've actually been really lucky with tour guides. Except for last night, I guess, when I'm pretty sure our second bus driver was drunk.

We're going to check out the Shout Out Louds tonight. I am pretty excited. I haven't heard much (maybe one or two songs) but what I've heard I've really enjoyed. Next week when we get back we're going to go and see Ted Leo. Do you want to hear a really sad story? We leave Dublin the exact same day that Rooney plays! Bah.

Is the modern art museum the one on top of the big hill and is a big square with a courtyard?

Yes. It was. Right by the crazy old prison.
