Pasties in the park

After Jon and I wandered around Dublin finishing up nearly all of our Christmas shopping, we decided to celebrate with pasties in St. Stephen's Green park. It's a nice little place to escape in this city.

Now, you may think that pasties (a pastry filled with stew-like things and other types of goodness) are the only thing Jon and I eat, but alas, they are not. These pasties were good, I opted for the cheese and broccoli one, while Jon went for the traditional Cornish pasty, but they are no Gammell's Cornish pasty. Gammell's is this awesome little bakery just down the road in Ranelagh and their pasties are killer.

The park was looking mighty fine today on this crisp, nearly winter-ish day. Don't let the sunny photos kid you, it was chilly, but pretty.

Grassy spaces.

Pretty fountains.

Obligatory lake with random swans and ducks.
