Trinity College and Zara

Yun and I are jet-lag free today! We slept really great last night – probably in part due to the Gurkah ‘Castle Hall’ churchill (cigar) and the triple distilled Jameson whiskey. It is not exactly warm here though. Today we spent time downtown Dublin doing some shopping. We went to a great Anglican bookstore where I purchased a few books – including a nice compliment to my “Irish Puritans” entitled “English Puritans” (different author though). I bought some other Puritan works and the guy that worked at the store threw in a book of Thomas Boston’s for free! What a great place.

We also found a Zara – a clothing store we enjoy a great deal. We have been to Zara in Cancun, Bangkok, Panama, Vancouver, and now Dublin. I like their shirts a lot. We may be in Belfast on Thursday so perhaps we can stop at the one there as well.

After what seemed like endless of hours of shopping, Matt met up with us and we went to Trinity College. It was a beautiful campus. The school has a really fascinating past. I learned Bishop Usher attended Trinity the second year it began when he was 12-years-old.

We played spades last night which proved to be a disappointment due to my preference to not lose. Tonight we may have to switch the teams up as the Policans have not been doing so well in this arena.
