A few weeks back (ok, I guess it's been a month by now), there was another tall ship festival in Dublin. After writing a monstrous check for the house, we need some relief (and cheap entertainment).
It was quite crowded in parts, as the quays are pretty narrow and there were a lot of people. But we all had a good time. There were a few performers (not sure how to describe the show - was it pantomime? I don't think so). Some acrobatics and silly stuff.
But the main highlight was the ships.

The girls even channeled their inner pirates.

There was some entertainment on the Liffey as well. First, the tugboats were doing some races of sorts, showing off their steering skills. Later, there was a battle reenactment, complete with cannon fire.

I suspect the best part of the day for the girls was the ice cream we got. 99s for all (a 99 is basically a soft-serve ice cream cone with a chocolate flake on top. Fruit syrup is optional).
