sits a statue of sweet Molly Malone.
As this is one of the sights I had wanted to photograph we set out today and walked from our hotel to downtown Dublin. Our walk took us through the Georgian quarter of the city.
When these homes were built they were all private residences with similar floorplans. The main floor contained living room and dining room with the scullery and chief servant’s quarters below. The master bedroom and sitting room on the second floor, children’s bedrooms on the third and remaining servant quarters on the fourth. Most are now offices though a few are still private homes.
One of our destinations was St. Stephen’s Square, a public park near Dublin city center. This is the Victorian Garden in that park.
When we left the park we were nearly to Molly so we got a photo of the famous fish monger.
Valerie had told Carol about a doll shop with a small museum so we had to find that. They mostly sell doll houses, furnishings and accessories. 1/12 scale but their collection of old dolls and bears was interesting.
When we had finished downtown we walked back past Merrion Square to get a photo of the statue of Yeats in that park. Though I did get that photo of Yeats, the statue there that captivated me more was Eire by Jerome Connor.
