Marrion Square and Archbishop Ryan Park

After Trinity college, we walked over to Marrion Square and went through a park called Archbishop Ryan Park. it was a beautiful park and housed the memorial to play write Oscar Wilde. It was a really neat statue and around it were little pillars where people could write famous Oscar Wilde sayings. we were going to go take a tour of his childhood home which was across the street from the park, but unfortunately it was closed on weekends. We will just have to go back.

There was also a really neat War Memorial statue. It was a large pyramid, and inside was four bronze soldiers surrounding a small fire. The photo's really don't do it justice. It was really nice.

After that we took the long route back up to the city centre and went through a very "posh" area of town called Grafton street. This is where all of the high end shopping was. We (and by "we" i mean Kristen) saw lots of great things to buy! (don't worry mom, i didn't get anything...yet).

It was an extremely busy street with tons of stores and street vendors. We didn't spend to much time there, because it was getting late so we will definitely be going back!
