Another trip we have been doing for years (although we missed it last year for some reason) is to see the sand sculptures in Dublin Castle. It has been going on for 11 years apparently (there are photos on display going back to 2006).
The first 3 sculptures were to be finished today and the fourth between the 10th and 14th August.
The sculptures are to be demolished on the 29th so there is still plenty of time to see them as I write.
Congratulations to the Office of Public Works and Dublin Castle for sponsoring this event.
Here is a picture I took yesterday of the work in progress:
