Dublin Walking Tour
Cindy and I had the pleasure today of partaking on a walking tour of Dublin for international students setup by the Postgraduate Department at Trinity. We walked all over the city and saw many of its highlights which included the Natural History Museum, the Parliament Building, Christ Church, Dublin Castle and more. The cool thing about taking this tour with other international students is that they are in your same shoes. Allison was from Washington D.C., Alexandro was from Chili, and Manno was from Spain. We also learned a bunch of interesting facts about the city. Dublin comes from two words meaning black pool, and that name was given because Dublin Castle used to be surrounded by the River Liffey and Poddle River (which is now underground) and a dark pool lay near the castle. After the 2 hour tour, the entire group went to a pub and shared a pint at Cassidy's Bar!
Molly is commemorated in a statue designed by Jeanne Rynhart[6], erected to celebrate the city's first millennium in 1987; Placed at the top of Grafton Street in Dublin, this statue is known colloquially (in rhyming slang) as "The Tart With The Cart," "The Dish With The Fish," and "The Trollop With The Scallops." The statue portrays Molly as a busty young woman in seventeenth-century dress. Her low-cut dress and large breasts were justified on the grounds that as "women breastfed publicly in Molly's time, breasts were popped out all over the place."View Album
