Today was Easter, so after checking out of our hotel (no we didn't stay in the above beauty) we went to Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral. The Church, completed in 1897, is a beautiful work of architecture. After Mass we walked around the inside of the church to further view the stonework and the amazing pipe organ that was used during the service. Next it was time for some food. We headed to a cafe across from parliament (below) and sat at a sidewalk table for a small brunch (of course we had a glass of champagne to accompany the meal.)
Having some time to kill before heading to the airport, we walked around the city a bit and wouldn't you know we ended up in front of the James Squire Brewery. I had wanted to taste their stout, Craic, so we split a pot (glass). Had I known it would be so good I would have bought one for each of us. But it was time to move on, we walked over to Federation Square and watched a few minutes of a street performer's routine before heading to the airport on the skybus.
