The name of the city
comes from the Irish word for Dark Water, dou'vlen, in referendum to the river
that runs through the city and its banks of Pete. Here are some pictures and
notes about the city.
In 1916 there was a
rebellion in which 1500 people took over post office, and the irish reformation
of literature occurred. Then, in 1974, the national theatre burned down and was
rebuilt. St. Patrick's church was built it in 1191, and the Christ Church was
built much earlier in 1038 by Vikings who were ready to integrate with
Ireland's Catholicism.
The Palestina
performed at the provisional Irish church every morning. two methadone clinic
nearby. This area never really recovered from the rebellion, though it is
getting there since transportation improved. streets in this area are lined with
churches and Old buildings. Eastern Dublin is as well full of Victorian
architecture, both big and small. It is also the home of the first maternity
hospital. Handel write his Messiah as a charity piece for this hospital and
raised 200 pounds (a fortune back then).
Near the immigration
museum lies the statue memorial to Huhullen , the Hound of auster, whom often
went into battle naked and in war paint. celtics were the last tribe in Europe.
in the 4th century, they traded women as slaves for cows, with cows being the
currency. Alot of buildings around this area were destroyed by the Independence
and Civil wars, and the ship that traveled up the Helga river and shelled the
city.
In the 18th century,
the aristocratic sofiety built a lot of beautiful buildings that became customs
houses, their version of the EPA, government, and so forth. The old warehouses
had become financial and commerce centers.

eternal flame surrounded by a sphere of barbed wire lit in his memory, as he
tried to unite the world by founding Amnesty International.
Daylight robbery was a

This parliament
building was built in 1712, and is now Bank of Ireland, with the House of Lords
still remaining intact.
Alot of German and
Dutch have come here because of the Presbyterian movement, farming, labor, and
above all, their Green approach to life. they are very eco-conscious. The
country equally shares profits between all responsible parties.
There are also model
replicas of coffin ships sitting in the bay, with one known as the Jenny
Johnston. The people sat for 6 weeks in close proximity which lead to lots of
disease spreading. This is where the namesake comes from.
As we crossed the
Rosie Hackett bridge and viewed the harp bridge, we learned about her
scholarship. The Rosie Hackett scholarship is awarded to a nursing student who
finishes second in the class. This was because rosie acknowledged that very few
people ever remember the second place victor. Rosie was a 15 year old girl who ran post during the time of war. She later unioned with a woman and
became a midwife.
Trinity college was
built in 1512 and is a testament to history. King Henry came here to dissolve
the church into several churches and form the Church of England. The book of
Kells is housed here and exists within the walls of this still-intact and
functioning church paved with cobblestobe walkways.
The national gallery
was built by William Dargon, the man who also built the first European
railroad. The Queen visited there a lot. She also asked all of Ireland to paint
their doors black when her lover died, and being nice and polite people, they
did exactly the opposite.
Dublinia used to be a
meetinghouse for government officials, but has now been turned into an exhibit
on vikings and city expansion.
Not too far off is thr
Guinness Storehouse, where the 80 Acres of factory have been sourcing Guinness
to the world since 1759. It's a simple recipe and ingredients, water, hops,
barley, and yeast. Getting to pull my own Guinness at their
academy was an otherworldly experience.
