You know what amazes me? The wealth of talent and fun you can find on the internet when you’re really not even looking for it. A few weeks ago, while I was having a browse through my Twitter feed, I stumbled upon this sweet illustrated guide to Dublin for Geeks by local illustrator Steve McCarthy on the Visit Dublin website. There are more, but these were my favorites: The Birdwatcher, the Trainspotter, and the Science Freak.
I’m a huge fan of the Botanic Gardens, but had no idea there were monthly birdwatching meetings from there. I love the Science Gallery, but I had no idea there was a model train shop on Hawkins Street. The things you learn when you’re not even looking!
And of course, it doesn’t hurt that the illustrations are downright adorable. Score one for delightful Dublin!

Cool, love the illustrations. I also love Vagabond Tours of Ireland which has cute wee illustrations.
All things nice…
I guess I’m a geek then. I’m ready to do any and all of this next time in your fair city.
