Yesterday after classes a few of us visited the Christchurch and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Christchurch was founded in 1030 during the Viking's rule. It was originally Catholic until King Henry VIII broke off from the Catholic church and turned it Anglican. It was really cool with pretty stainglass and a crypt. The crypt was the oldest part and is one of the largest in Britain and Ireland. St. Patrick's was built by the Normans in 1191 and then rebuilt in the 13th century. Jonathan Swift was Dean from 1713-45 and was buried there.
Later a bunch of us from the program all went to see Riverdance. Riverdance as always was amazing. I love Irish Dancing and the other dancers (Flamenco, American tap, & Russian) were brilliant. Also the Theater was really cool, thin, and we were high up, but kind of small. Also there was a bar and they let you bring your drinks to your seats. Go Irish!
