From there I headed to the famous "GPO"--General Post Office, which is famous not so much for being a post office, but for its role in the Easter Uprising of 1916, when it served as the headquarters for the revoultionaries.
Having mailed my postcard, I went to this wonderful bookstore, which is right across the street from my hostel.
When I asked the older lady working if I could photograph the store, she said, "yes, go ahead." Then I said, "it's a wonderful bookstore;" and she said, "yes, it is, if I do say so myself!"
I bought a book, and enjoyed the cafe up above the bookstore for awhile.
After some lunch, I continued my relaxing enjoyment of Dublin through the afternoon and evening: I got a haircut, went for a cup of tea at a cafe, and then had a couple pints of Guinness at two bars in the famous Temple Bar district (which is just behind where my hostel is) while finishing Watership Down, the novel I had bought on the streets of Sofia.
