The Day We Met the President

 

We went to Dublin for an English trip on the 8th of October. We went to the Yeats Museum in the National Library and also the World War 1 Museum. 
First we went to the war museum. This was very interesting and they had plenty of primary sources such as authentic diaries and letters. 
On our way into the national library we ended up arriving at the same time as our president, Michael D. Higgins, and his wife Sabina!
They were very nice, although we could only get a quick picture as both us and them had places to be. 
The Yeats exhibition was very enjoyable and interesting.  Afterwards we were let loose on Grafton Street to have our lunch. We all met up at the end of lunch and went to the National Museum. We split up and looked at the bog bodies and various other artefacts. Before we knew it it was time to go home. We had a great day out:)
