A few more things that I like are the bright green "Post" boxes and offices. The street sweepers just going up and down the curbs on streets and side walks and go around people. There are a lot of diverse people here but they still all have the wonderful accent! And when the locals talk to each other they are quiet and polite to each other. We have not seen any screaming people walking down the streets or in stores on their cell phones (like the Americans!) The "Garda" (police) are everywhere too in their little neon yellow jackets!
It was a lot warmer today, probably in the mid 70's with sunshine as opposed to yesterday's constant raining and coldness. And this was a good thing since we spent a majority of our day at Phoenix Park. This park is the Europe's largest gated parks. There was saw several beautiful monuments and statues, a castle, an abandoned decaying fort, the home of the Irish President, the residence of the American ambassador, and the Dublin Zoo. We ran into a deer while walking around through the thick trees and had to turn back to make our way around him. And we also had lunch and tea at the Phoenix Park Tea House.

Needless to say we are both exhausted and sorry this is a shorter post today but we need to go to sleep because we have a 7:30AM flight to London tomorrow!
Will update again soon hopefully!
Love,
Becky and Clark
