It's simply awe inspiring to have the privilege to view one of histories greatest genius' sketches and read the notes he wrote as he studied everything from human anatomy to engineering. A window in to the mind of one of the greatest human minds ever. Then perhaps stroll around Stephen's green or the Iveagh gardens and chat amongst one another. Maybe even a few of the more musical posters could play something. I'm afraid I'm a pianist so I wouldn't be much use there, but I'd be interested in hearing others offerings. Then perhaps a meal and some wine in Shanahan's followed by a digestif in The Shelbourne. But as usual the best AH seems to be able to come up with is for everyone to descend on some grotty pub, guzzle down as much cheap larger as possible and stumble home with a chipper. Or worse still, some posters suggesting that to save money we should buy flagons of cheap cider and drink by the canal like winos!
