Dublin so far...

This is the strangest legend I've seen here so far: The famous Molly Malone, on the streets of Dublin. The song tells the tale of a beautiful fishmonger who plied her trade on the streets of Dublin selling "cockels and mussels", but who died young of typhoid fever. She is typically represented as a hawker by day and part-time prostitute by night. In contrast she has also been portrayed as one of the few chaste female street-hawkers of her day, and she's a legend on the streets of Dublin. The first part of her song goes like this:

In Dublin's fair city,
where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"


This is the beautiful St. Patrick's Cathedral founded in 1191, and is the largest cathedral in Ireland. The background story is pretty neat, but way too long to even shorten onto here.
Just a pic I took along the river of the city.
I just thought this building was so cool with the vines and the plants growing out of it.
Christ Church Cathedral, founded by the Vikings in 1028.
