Mary Rose: Kilmainham Gaol, Glasnevin Cemetary, Stuffed Cat, and Christ Church Cathedral.


This is a photo of grafitti done by a prisoner of the gaol. My friend Andrew, who happens to be Irish, saw this on his trip to Ireland and got it tatooed on his leg.


This is a shot of the East Wing of Kilmainham Gaol.



A stairwell in the West Wing, built over 100 years before the East Wing, and you can definitely tell...that's all I'm saying.


A view of Daniel O'Connell's monument in Glasnevin Cemetary.


A trinity of grave markers?


The ceiling of Daniel O'Connell's tomb.


Ivory covering tombstones, yes I said ivory Brianne.


The original gate into Glasnevin Cemetary.


The grave of Michael Collins is the most visited grave in the cemetary.


A picture of a cat in the Jameson Distillery. Apparently, it was a real cat that cought mice in the grain room. So to commend it for its services done to Jameson, someone decided it would be a good idea to stuff it. I know, right?


The inside of Christ Church Cathedral.


Ditto.


The fake tomb of Strongbow. They don't tell you this unless you read the pamphlet, but it's the second tomb and they don't know where the first one is. Incidentally, the pamphlet does not mention that Strongbow is also a delicious cider.

Hope you liked my visual explosion.
