What are some must do experiences in Dublin?

Flying from Seattle to The Algarve Portugal I have a long layover in Dublin this month and a longer one in November on return. I only have a few hours each day but hope to squeeze in a bit of Irish culture. I was last in Ireland in 1969. Any ideas as to what I must do? Please don't suggest squeezing an Irish colleen. I've done that and thoroughly enjoyed it but now the mind is willing but the body is unsure. I don't like Guinness nor do I drink much whiskey but could be talked into sampling some top shelf Jameson or Bushmill. Any food I should try?

    Hop on a train and take the half hour trip to the picturesque village of Dalkey. There you will find a small castle which is inhabited by actors who give you a real live interactive experience. It was the highlight of our 2 week journey around Ireland.

    On the Liffey, just around the corner from the main street (sorry, but

    l can't for the life of me remember the name, lol) there used to be

    a store with prints of lreland. What was really special about this, is they

    were copies of personal pictures, and were all catagorized according to

    different catagories. So say you knew the address of your grandparents,

    you could see if there were old pictures of that street or even of their

    house, at the time they lived there. Or there were pictures of people,

    work sites, historic buildings. lt was amazing! l have travelled all over,

    and have never seen a store like this. l would go back in an instant,

    it was so great to see all these old pictures from the day.

    Source(s): Been a while since l was in Dublin too, but had a great time, even though hubby was in Beaumont Hospital for 2 weeks - people are so kind and friendly, it was amazing even though it was stressful.
