Oscar Wilde, "traditional Dublin coddle", and of course, Guinness...

Today was much better than yesterday...sleep, new friends, and a small knowledge of the streets have improved things.
I saw Oscar Wilde today!  He's lounging lazily on a rock in a green vest in Merrion Square.  He's just so colorful. :)  A quotation of his nearby:  "Who, being loved, is poor?"  I agree.
A highlight of Dublin has been the Chocolate Cafes everywhere.  Oh my.  Had some heavenly drinking chocolate today!
For dinner tonight, I had "traditional Dublin coddle"--a sort of stew with much sausage and potatoes.  Felt lovely after walking in the drizzle.  And, I think because we're tourists, a Guinness came free with the meal...I hope it counts if I only had a few centimeters. ?  I liked it at first, but soon got over it. :)
Still quite tired, so goodnight!
