On our way out of Dublin, we'll stop at Kilmainham Gaol and learn about its place in Ireland's stirring struggle for independence less than a century ago. Moderate walking: 2–6 miles throughout the day with some hills and stairs. You'll have the rest of the day free to feel the pulse of a city thriving with street poets and musicians. We'll end our tour at Trinity College for an illuminating look at the remarkable Book of Kells, a creative jolt that helped pull Europe out of the Dark Ages. This morning we'll take a walking tour through Dublin, learning about its rich history, from the days of Viking raids to the hard centuries of British occupation to the proud and progressive city of today. Light walking: 2–4 miles throughout the day on mostly level terrain. After a group meeting, we'll enjoy a "Welcome to Ireland" dinner together, followed by an orientation walk through the heart of Dublin.
