Pictures

The picture above behind the title of the blog is of Christ Church in Dublin. It is an Anglican Church of Ireland. I went to a singing service (not its technical name), where they sang the entire service, except for the readings, in monastic chants. The readings were read from the King James' Bible and combined with some thick accents, I did not understand most of them.
The picture to the right is of the entrance to the graveyard on campus. People associated with the university are buried there. I think that they are mostly brothers and priests. It is a very old graveyard apparent by some of the graves, which are falling apart. Others are as new as April of last year. It is a really cool place to go. It is peaceful there and not creepy like some graveyards can be. There are birds chirping all around and new life (in plant form) coming out of some of the graves. I am excited to be here during spring.
The final picture to the right is of a really cool Pub I went to when in Dublin. Everyone there was wearing green because the Irish rugby match was on. Luckily, Ireland won and the Pub was still a celebrating when we got there a little after the game was over. The picture is of the pub from the second floor looking down at the front entrance.
