Today was the last day that we had a cultural activity, which was a visit to the Guinness Storehouse!  This tour was not until later in the day however, so we started the morning going to Dublinia, the Viking settler museum inside the Christ Church Cathedral building.  Unfortunately, I was feeling extremely tired today, and barely able to focus fully on the museum, but from my time there, I learned about how Dublin was initially founded by Vikings that came from Norwegian countries.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will say, the museum was interesting, but in my honest opinion, I found it odd to be what it was inside the beautiful building of Christ Church.  I will preface that I understand that Christ Church was one of the first things that the Vikings built to establish Dublin, so it makes sense, but the museum itself felt almost too \u201cplayful\u201d for it to be inside that building.  But, I digress.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
