We took the Luas and strolled up along St. Stephen's green to Merrion Square.
Georgian houses on St. Stephen's Green
The area around Merrion Square, the Government Buildings and the National Gallery was cut off for the day. So nice to see these normally busy streets car-free :)
The trees in the park had been decorated for the occasion
Bright colours everywhere...
And the performers, of course... the performers!! What a blast! Jugglers, stilt-walkers, clowns, fire-eaters, unicyclists, sword-swallowers, mime artists, acrobats, comedians and all kinds of street performers. The Australian sword-eater (pictured above centre) captivated the crowd and was voted winner of the entire championship.
We got to practice walking on starter stilts :)
...and to swing in the playground.
...and blow bubbles...
...lots of bubbles!
Before going home, we popped over to say hello to Oscar...
...and then, in a sleepy daze, grabbed the tram back home at the end of the day.
