Irish Parliament

The second part of the day we spent at the Irish Parliament. We were unable to take pictures inside but it was cool to check it out! We saw first hand how their parliament is similar to ours in the U.S. and also how it is different. They had some design and architectural detail inside that mirrors some of what we have in the U.S. parliament and White House. They also have a flag posted up inside that was given to them by JFK a few months before he died. It was from the civil war and was from a New York regiment composed primarily of men from Irish decent. The symbols and the flag were very Irish, and you could tell they were quite proud of it. And also they were certainly proud of the Irish men who served well in a tough time in U.S. history. Posted below are pictures from this part of the day (outside of course)

After our visit, Bevan and I did a little walking around and shopping.
