April 28, 2011--Back in Dublin

This night, after we returned from our side trip, we went to the theater to see "Pygmalion." It was a great rendition. This is the play that the movie "My Fair Lady" is based on. No music, though, just a play. Before the play, we went to dinner at a place nearby called "The Oval." This pub's claim to fame is that during the battle of the Easter uprising, when the General Post Office was attacked (it is down the street as well), the rebels hid in this pub. (Just a rumor, no actual proof). The food was good and the atmosphere was grand!
