Dublin´s Fair City

After the crazy weekend, the first order of business was to have Eimaer do my hair. She´s a professional hair dresser, and curently does the hair for the tv show The Tudors, because it films in Ireland very near to where she and Ben live in Bray, but she´s in the process of opening her own salon. She´s brilliant, and her creations always look amazing.

The second order of business was to go into Dublin proper to have a look around. Ben and I decided to go to the Museum of Natural History to see the Bog exhibition, because we like fun gory stuff. The bog exhibit features people who were murdered during prehistoic times and thrown into watery, muddy bogs, and became preserved. Basically the bodies petrified, even down to the hair, and it´s creepy and cool at the same time. Then we had drinks and food at an overly Irish pub.

Look how well the hand was preserved! Even the fingernails.
This guy was murdered and chopped into several pieces before he was thrown in the bog.
mummified.
