The River Liffey and the Quays: Prominent in City Centre. Every time we asked for directions before we got a map, we were told, "It's just over the Quays [pronounced 'keys']" or "Go past the Quays" and I was baffled about these keys. Then we found a map and realized what the keys were.
Gravity Bar at the Guinness Storehouse: The middle of the tourist-friendly brewery is designed to look like a giant pintglass. The Gravity Bar is at the very top, the creamy froth! You get a complimentary pint of Guinness and an amazing bird's eye view of Dublin. I'm glad we went at dusk because the sky and lights were spectacular.
Howth: A seaside town 30 minutes west of Dublin. Lots of fishing boats, sailboats, fish markets, seafood. There is also a nice little town. Reminded me of Catalina Island.
Filipino grocery store in the middle of Dublin: There are a lot of Asian people in Dublin. I heard that immigration in the city is going up. It's becoming very international! I had to take a picture and go inside this market because I haven't seen a Filipino market even in London. They had lots of familiar food and familiar smells.
