Another view of Leinster House
Look right; on the streets
of Dublin were painted instructions for the tourists: "Look right" and "Look left."
Sebastian said that it's saved a few tourists' lives over the years. That's another
thing the Irish have picked up from the British; they drive on the wrong side
of the road. There were signs in German that said, "ACHTUNG!" with directions
to drive on the left side of the road.
Clock over the GPO, the site of
the 1916 Easter Uprising.
A cathedral next to the
