Today was our last day in Dublin and we could do whatever we wanted, so I visited my relative Bill, his wife Lillian and his daughter Isolde in Shankill. Bill has a very lovely house that has an amazing view of Killarney. They all showed me a very good example of Irish hospitality! While Lillian made lunch, Bill drove me over to the small town of Bray, which was right on the coast and had a very pretty view. Then we returned for a brunch of scrambled eggs and salmon, which was delicious. I was supposed to go meet more of the family at this point but unfortunately, due to The Last Waltz, I did not have the time to go. But Isolde and Bill took me to the National Gallery of Ireland to see the Taking Stock exhibit, which had art pieces that the museum had acquired in the past 10 years. I was very happy to be able to meet my relatives and I really wish I could have spent more time with them!
Next, we went to The Last Waltz, where a band performed many popular songs from the 60's. It was very entertaining, especially when half of the audience drunkenly began to rock out. Overall, I really enjoyed the show.
I had a very lovely last day in Dublin and I loved our week-long stay there! Next stop: Cobh!
