Dublin Castle

                               So I thought I'd share Dublin Castle with you from my visit to Ireland.
The left side of the tower is the castle's private chapel and the right side is the out side of the court yard.

In the Court Yard

It was VERY windy.

Room inside the Castle this is where the inauguration of their President.
Who happened to get elected while we were there.  He will be in office for 7 years and can run a second time.  he also happens to be 80 years old.

This was the Ladies room. back when they woud have parties or a ball this is where the ladies would get ready and where they would retreat during the event. 
The tower is one of the only original pieces of the castle left. 

They have discovered more of the castle below, They made the stairs so only one person could go down/up at a time to prevent attack. these were used by the servants!

The original moat
